'''Ecoregion ranges'''. When claiming that a country, state, landform, or protected area is in a WWF ecoregion, you can copy-paste the following citation to the original paper:

<code><nowiki>
{{cite journal
  |author = Olson, D. M, E. Dinerstein
  |title = Terrestrial Ecoregions of the World: A New Map of Life on Earth
  |journal = [[BioScience]]
  |year = 2001
  |volume=51
  |issue=11
  |pages= 933–938
  |url = http://www.worldwildlife.org/science/wildfinder/
  |doi = 10.1641/0006-3568(2001)051[0933:TEOTWA]2.0.CO;2
|display-authors=etal}}
</nowiki></code>

It will appear as follows:

'''Ecoregion statistics'''. The [http://www.nature.org/multimedia/maps/ Atlas of Global Conservation] from [[The Nature Conservancy]] has various statistics for all the WWF ecoregions, valid {{As of|2010|lc=on}}. These include numbers of bird, mammal, and threatened species, percent habitat loss, and percent area formally protected. Just copy-paste the following if you use their stats:

<code><nowiki>
