Range

Distributed across Austria, Belgium, Norway, and Sweden.

Wolf

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, deserts and xeric shrublands, and tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, among 13 distinct biome types. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Africa (Seychelles), Asia (Japan), Europe (5 countries), North America (7 countries), Oceania and the Pacific (Marshall Islands, Vanuatu), and South America (5 countries). Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Zweisporiger Champignon

The most widely cultivated mushroom globally, the button mushroom in its various growth stages — white button, cremini, and portobello — accounts for approximately 40% of world mushroom production. Domesticated from wild Agaricus species found in grasslands across Europe and North America, they are grown commercially in controlled environments on composted straw and manure. Rich in B vitamins, selenium, and dietary fiber, they are one of the most nutritionally versatile fungi in human cuisine.

Wolf

The most widely distributed wild canid, gray wolves range from North America across Eurasia in diverse habitats including tundra, forests, and grasslands. Highly social animals living in family packs led by a dominant breeding pair. As keystone predators, wolves regulate prey populations and profoundly shape ecosystem structure, as demonstrated by their reintroduction in Yellowstone. Once heavily persecuted, populations are recovering in many regions.
