Gallineta frente roja

La gallineta común (Gallinula chloropus) está clasificada como Vulnerable (VU) en la Lista Roja de la UICN. Enfrenta un alto riesgo de peligro en estado silvestre, con poblaciones en declive y creciente presión sobre su hábitat.

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.
