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.

escoba

Sida glomerata, the clustered fanpetals, is a perennial herb or subshrub in the family Malvaceae native to tropical and subtropical Americas, with distribution also recorded in the Pacific Islands. The genus Sida is a pantropical group of about 150–200 species of mallows, many of which are weedy pioneers of disturbed habitats. S. glomerata produces small yellow, five-petaled flowers typical of the mallow family, with flowers clustered in the leaf axils. The leaves are alternate, simple, and often covered in stellate hairs. Like other Sida species, it grows in disturbed open habitats including roadsides, waste ground, pastures, and forest margins. Members of the genus are used medicinally in traditional systems across tropical regions, with fiber extracted from stems in some species. S. glomerata is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, being a common and adaptable species across its tropical range. The pantropical distribution of many Sida species has been facilitated by their association with human-disturbed habitats and their ability to produce abundant, persistent seeds.
