Habitat & Geographic Range

Águila cabeza blanca

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 10 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).

Eleoxochitl

Habitat

Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

Águila cabeza blanca

El ave nacional de los Estados Unidos y símbolo del éxito conservacionista americano, el águila cabeza blanca tiene una envergadura de hasta 2,4 metros y habita bosques y humedales próximos a aguas abiertas en toda Norteamérica. Casi extinta en la década de 1960 por el envenenamiento con DDT y la caza, se recuperó de forma notable gracias a las prohibiciones de pesticidas y la Ley de Especies en Peligro.

Eleoxochitl

Cloud forest magnolias are trees in the genus Magnolia (family Magnoliaceae) native to montane cloud forest habitats in Central America, the northern Andes, Southeast Asia, and southern China. These ancient angiosperms, among the earliest flowering plants to evolve, grow as canopy or subcanopy trees in mist-shrouded montane forests at elevations typically between 1,500 and 3,000 meters. They produce large, fragrant flowers with numerous petal-like tepals, pollinated by beetles — a primitive pollination strategy reflecting the genus's Cretaceous evolutionary origins. Cloud forest magnolias face severe conservation threats: cloud forest is among the most threatened forest type globally due to fragmentation for agriculture, charcoal production, and timber, and several Magnolia species are classified as Endangered or Critically Endangered. The genus has limited natural regeneration capacity due to large seed size and specialized germination requirements. Conservation programs combine in-situ forest protection with botanical garden collections and reforestation initiatives targeting degraded montane forest landscapes across the Americas and Asia where cloud forest magnolias are focal species.
