Renumbered each ecoregion based upon their biogeographic realms (Nearctic first, then Neotropical and Oceanian) and biomes. Changed colours of a couple ecoregions.

Coloured in some blank areas and islands according to their appropriate WWF ecoregion. Minor aesthetic adjustments to eliminate some of the thin white lines between ecoregions and to accommodate Puerto Rico.
