Bactrospora dryina is an exceptionally rare crustose lichen found on smooth bark of ancient oak trees in well-preserved Atlantic woodland. It produces elongated, lirellate fruiting bodies and is regarded as one of the most threatened lichens in Europe. Critically Endangered, it is restricted to a handful of old-growth oak woodland sites and is highly sensitive to changes in microclimate and air quality.

jaguar

The largest cat in the Americas, reaching up to 100 kg with a stocky, muscular build and distinctive rosette-patterned coat. Found from Mexico through South America, with strongholds in the Amazon and Pantanal. Powerful swimmers and apex predators, jaguars play a critical role in regulating prey populations. Near Threatened, with range contracting due to deforestation.
