Habitat & Geographic Range

ハクトウワシ

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 10 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).

cloud podocarp

Habitat

Typically found in temperate and boreal forests, often at higher elevations.

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。

cloud podocarp

Cloud podocarp refers to Podocarpus species (family Podocarpaceae) native to high-elevation cloud forests and montane woodlands in tropical and subtropical Africa, the Americas, and Southeast Asia. Podocarps are ancient conifers, among the most species-rich conifer family in the Southern Hemisphere, with cloud forest species adapted to cool temperatures, high rainfall, and the persistent fog and mist of their montane environments. These trees often form the dominant canopy in afromontane and Andean cloud forest at elevations between 1,800 and 3,500 meters, producing fleshy, berry-like seed cones that attract frugivorous birds that serve as dispersal agents. The soft, durable timber of cloud podocarps has been extensively exploited historically for construction, furniture, and fuelwood, contributing to severe deforestation of cloud forest regions. Several cloud podocarp species are classified as Vulnerable or Endangered due to habitat loss from forest clearance, combined with slow growth rates and limited natural regeneration in degraded areas. Reforestation programs in East Africa, the Andes, and Southeast Asia increasingly use cloud podocarp species for ecological restoration of degraded montane forest landscapes.
