All the plant and animal life of a region (5)
I believe the answer is:
biota
(Other definitions for biota that I've seen before include "The animal and plant life of a region or period" , "Region's creatures, plants" , "Animal and plant life in an area" .)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
