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。

Clint Crisp-Moss

Clint Crisp-moss, Tortella densa, is a small acrocarpous moss in the family Pottiaceae found on exposed limestone pavement, cliff ledges, and calcareous rock outcrops in temperate Europe, with strongholds in the Yorkshire Dales, the Burren of Ireland, and similar karst landscapes. The common name 'clint' refers to the raised limestone blocks of limestone pavement habitats, and 'crisp-moss' describes the crinkled, crisped appearance of the dry leaf margins. When moistened, the leaves uncurl and spread, revealing the characteristic nerve extending to the leaf tip. Tortella densa forms dense, cushion-like or turf-forming colonies on exposed limestone surfaces and in sheltered grykes (the fissures between clints), tolerating periodic desiccation and temperature extremes. Limestone pavement is a rare and highly specialized habitat that supports a distinctive community of plants, mosses, liverworts, and invertebrates, and is legally protected in the United Kingdom and Ireland as a priority habitat under European conservation law. The loss of limestone pavement to quarrying, the covering of surfaces by soil and vegetation succession, and the removal of clint-surface plants by collectors have threatened specialist bryophytes of this habitat. Clint Crisp-moss is considered of conservation concern in Britain and Ireland.
