Widely distributed across Africa (18 countries), Asia (4 countries), Europe (Italy), North America (9 countries), Oceania and the Pacific (5 countries), and South America (5 countries).
Mullah Spiny Mouse

Common bamboo
One of the most widely cultivated bamboo species globally, common bamboo grows at extraordinary rates — up to 91 cm per day under optimal conditions — across tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Technically a giant grass rather than a tree, its culms can reach 20 meters and provide a fast-renewable timber alternative for construction, paper, textiles, and food. It is a critical habitat component for wildlife including giant pandas that depend on bamboo forests.
