Phaeocollybia arduennensis es un hongo agarico de raiz profunda de la familia Hymenogastraceae, clasificado como En Peligro (EN). Crece en bosques viejos de coniferas y mixtos, produciendo caracteristicos sombreros conicos de color marron ocre y una pseudorriza ahusada que se ancla profundamente en el suelo. Su estado de peligro refleja la dependencia de bosques maduros no perturbados con suelos profundos ricos en humus.

Oso Polar

El mayor carnivoro terrestre de la Tierra, el oso polar puede superar los 700 kg y se encuentra en el hielo marino del Artico, desde Canada hasta Rusia. Es un mamifero marino altamente especializado que depende del hielo marino para cazar focas anilladas y barbadas. Excelente nadador capaz de cubrir grandes distancias en agua abierta. Clasificado como Vulnerable, sus poblaciones soportan una presion severa por la rapida perdida de hielo marino artico debida al cambio climatico.
