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.

ciprés común

<em>Cupressus sempervirens</em>, the common cypress, is a coniferous evergreen tree in the family Cupressaceae. Native to the Mediterranean region and widely distributed across Europe, Africa, Asia, North America, Oceania, and South America, this species typically thrives in temperate broadleaf and coniferous forest habitats within the Palearctic realm. The common cypress is characterized by its distinctive columnar or pyramidal growth form, with dark green, scale-like leaves arranged in dense, flattened sprays. It often grows on well-drained, rocky or alkaline soils and typically tolerates drought and heat, making it well adapted to Mediterranean climates. The tree produces small, rounded cones that take approximately two years to mature. <em>Cupressus sempervirens</em> is widely cultivated as an ornamental tree and windbreak, and its durable, aromatic wood has historically been valued for construction and furniture. This species is also associated with funerary traditions in many Mediterranean cultures. Its conservation status is assessed as Least Concern, reflecting its broad range and stable populations across multiple continents.
