Panda Gigante

El panda gigante (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) es un animal emblemático de China, célebre por su pelaje blanco y negro y su dieta basada casi exclusivamente en bambú. Su estado de conservación es vulnerable (VU), es el animal bandera de la conservación internacional de la vida silvestre, y su población ha experimentado cierta recuperación en los últimos años.

Volvariella caesiotincta es un hongo agaricáceo de la familia Pluteaceae, evaluado como Vulnerable (VU). Crece sobre material leñoso muerto y se distingue por su volva (copa basal) y láminas rosadas en la madurez. Su estado vulnerable refleja la pérdida de hábitat y la escasez de madera en descomposición apropiada en paisajes gestionados.
