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.

common boobialla

The common boobialla (<em>Myoporum insulare</em>) is a shrub or small tree species with a broad geographic distribution, occurring in Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, South Africa, and Spain. This species typically inhabits diverse terrestrial environments, thriving in coastal scrublands, dunes, and open woodlands. As a member of the family Scrophulariaceae, the common boobialla is often prized for its hardiness and tolerance of salt spray and dry conditions. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating stable populations across its range. The species produces small white flowers and dark berries that are attractive to birds and other wildlife, contributing to local biodiversity. Its ability to colonize sandy soils and exposed coastal environments makes it a common component of littoral vegetation communities. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
