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。
クリスマスミカドバト
The Christmas Island imperial pigeon (Ducula whartoni) is a large frugivorous pigeon in the family Columbidae, endemic to Christmas Island, an Australian territory in the Indian Ocean. It is one of several vertebrate species unique to Christmas Island, reflecting the island's isolation and the evolutionary divergence of its fauna over millions of years. Like other members of the genus Ducula, the imperial pigeons, it is a substantial bird and an important seed disperser within the island's rainforest ecosystem. The species feeds primarily on forest fruits and plays a keystone ecological role in moving seeds of large-fruited trees across the island. Imperial pigeons in this group are often characterized by pale gray and iridescent plumage. The Christmas Island imperial pigeon inhabits the dense tropical rainforest that covers much of the island's interior plateau. Conservation threats include habitat loss from past phosphate mining operations and the ongoing impacts of invasive species, particularly the yellow crazy ant, which has dramatically altered forest ecology through the farming of scale insects, leading to canopy dieback over large areas. The species' restricted range and dependence on intact forest make it susceptible to further habitat deterioration. Active conservation management on Christmas Island includes invasive species control programs.
