Widely distributed across Africa (Seychelles), Asia (Japan), Europe (5 countries), North America (7 countries), Oceania and the Pacific (Marshall Islands, Vanuatu), and South America (5 countries). Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Batará Cinéreo

The cinereous antshrike (Thamnomanes caesius) is a small, insectivorous bird in the family Thamnophilidae, found across Amazonia and the Orinoco basin in South America. It ranges from Venezuela, Colombia, and the Guianas south through Brazil to Bolivia and Peru. This species is a characteristic member of Amazonian mixed-species foraging flocks, in which it serves as a sentinel, alerting other species to approaching predators while also flushing insects for other flock members. It inhabits the undergrowth and lower to mid strata of terra firme and humid forest, particularly avoiding seasonally flooded várzea. The male is largely gray-blue with a black throat, while the female is brownish with a rufous wash. The cinereous antshrike is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, with a vast Amazonian range and stable populations in intact forest. As a nuclear species in mixed-species flocks, its presence or absence has cascading effects on the diversity and composition of the flocking community. Deforestation of Amazonian terra firme forest poses the primary long-term threat to this and many co-occurring antbird species. The species is entirely absent from Europe; any database record listing Norway as its range is an artifact of data entry error.

Lobo gris

El lobo gris (Canis lupus), el cánido silvestre más ampliamente distribuido, se extiende desde América del Norte a través de Eurasia en hábitats diversos que incluyen la tundra, bosques y praderas. Son animales altamente sociales que viven en manadas familiares lideradas por una pareja reproductora dominante. Como depredadores clave, los lobos regulan las poblaciones de presas y moldean profundamente la estructura del ecosistema, como demostró su reintroducción en Yellowstone. Antes muy perseguidos, las poblaciones se están recuperando en muchas regiones.
