Description: Idea for consideration.

Thinking ahead into the development of regional pages, consider using two regional taxonomies: GBIF administrative regions (complete with its participatory quirks), and UN macro regions (and subregions), listed here: http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49regin.htm

If justified by use cases, we could use these to allow the user to how they'd like to define the views of GBIF and GBIF-mediated data by region.  ]]>
