With rugged and wild landscapes that range from jagged snow-capped mountains to vast flat grassy plains, and from the ancient fruit-and-nut forests of Central Asia to the dry montado woodlands of the Mediterranean basin, Eurasia is a place of incomparable and unique beauty.
The region’s marine environment also varies greatly, the cold waters of the North Atlantic to the west contrasting with the warmer waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
Despite the region being home to many iconic species including the snow leopard and the critically endangered saiga antelope and Iberian lynx, Eurasia’s important biodiversity is often sadly overlooked.
