ハクトウワシ

アメリカの国鳥であり保全の成功を象徴するハクトウワシは翼開長が最大2.4 mに達し、北米全域の水辺近くの森林や湿地に生息する。強力な空中捕食者兼腐肉食者で魚を主食とするが、水鳥や腐肉も捕食する。DDT汚染と狩猟によって1960年代にほぼ絶滅に瀕したが、農薬の使用禁止と絶滅危惧種法の施行により劇的に回復した。

Christmas-bells

Christmas bells (Blandfordia grandiflora) is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Blandfordiaceae, endemic to eastern Australia. It is one of four species in the genus Blandfordia, all restricted to Australia, and is perhaps the most widely recognized, flowering during the summer months of the Southern Hemisphere, which correspond to the Christmas season. The species produces striking pendulous, bell-shaped flowers in red and yellow, borne on upright stems emerging from tufted grass-like leaves. It grows primarily in coastal and near-coastal heathlands and wet sedgelands of New South Wales and southern Queensland, favoring waterlogged, nutrient-poor soils. Christmas bells are adapted to fire-prone ecosystems and often flower most prolifically following fire events that stimulate regeneration. The flowers are visited by honeyeaters and other nectarivorous birds, which serve as pollinators. Historically, Christmas bells were widely collected as cut flowers, and this exploitation significantly reduced some populations. Today, the species is protected under New South Wales legislation, and collection from the wild is prohibited. Habitat loss from urban expansion and altered hydrology also affects populations. The plant has cultural significance in Australia as a symbol of the summer Christmas season.
