Range state
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Range state is a term used in zoogeography to refer to the countries in which a species or biotope is usually found. Countries in which a species occurs only as a rare visitor are not classed as range states.
Because governmental conservation policy is often formulated on a national scale, and because in most countries governmental and non-governmental conservation organisations are also organised at the national level, the range state concept is used by international conservation organisations in formulating their conservation and campaigning policy.
