Texas's 250,000 square miles contain ten distinct ecoregions, from desert in the western portion of the state to dense forests in the east, and include 22 major river basins and 367 miles of coastline. The state ranks second in the nation in terms of its biodiversity. With diversity and size come great challenges to conserving the state's tens of thousands of wildlife species and the many habitats they depend on for their survival.
