Widely distributed across Africa (Benin), Asia (Taiwan, United Arab Emirates), Europe (5 countries), and South America (Colombia). Currently classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Coast Myall

Coast myall (Acacia binervia) is a small to medium tree or tall shrub in the family Fabaceae, native to coastal and near-coastal regions of New South Wales and Queensland in eastern Australia. It grows in coastal heath, dry sclerophyll woodland, and scrubby vegetation on sandy or rocky substrates, often in association with banksias and eucalypts. Like most Australian wattles, coast myall produces phyllodes—flattened leaf-stalks functioning as leaves—rather than true compound leaves in mature plants. The dark green phyllodes are distinctive, with two main veins, giving rise to the species name binervia. Golden-yellow, spherical flower heads are produced in winter to spring, attracting native bees. The genus Acacia sensu lato encompasses hundreds of species across Australia and globally, many of which play important ecological roles in nitrogen cycling through root symbioses. Coast myall is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN. It is sometimes planted in coastal revegetation projects for its tolerance of poor, sandy soils, drought, and salt-laden winds.

Loro yaco

Ampliamente considerado como la especie de loro más inteligente y el mimo aviar más capaz, el loro gris africano (Psittacus erithacus) puede desarrollar vocabularios de más de 1.000 palabras y demostrar comprensión de conceptos como el cero, el color, la forma y el tamaño relativo. Nativo de la selva tropical ecuatorial africana desde Costa de Marfil hasta Kenia, vive en grandes bandadas. Está En Peligro debido a la captura catastrófica para el comercio de mascotas — hasta el 21% de las aves silvestres son capturadas anualmente — y la deforestación. Se aplican estrictas restricciones comerciales del Apéndice I del CITES.
