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 Lavender

Common Lavender (<em>Lavandula angustifolia</em>) is an aromatic shrub in the family Lamiaceae, widely cultivated for its fragrant flowers and essential oils. Its native range includes Cyprus, India, and Turkey in Asia, nineteen European countries, the United States in North America, Australia in Oceania, and Brazil in South America. The species typically occupies diverse terrestrial habitats including dry, rocky slopes, scrublands, and stony hillsides of the Mediterranean region, where it thrives in well-drained, calcareous soils under full sun. Common Lavender is one of the most economically significant aromatic plants globally, with extensive use in perfumery, cosmetics, culinary applications, and traditional herbal medicine. It is a valuable pollinator plant, attracting bees, butterflies, and other insects. The conservation status of this species has not been formally evaluated by the IUCN. Its widespread cultivation and naturalization across temperate regions worldwide make it a familiar component of gardens and agricultural landscapes. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
