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。

coast club-rush

Coast club-rush (Schoenoplectus subulatus) is a tall, emergent sedge in the family Cyperaceae, found in coastal and estuarine wetlands throughout tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas. It grows in brackish and freshwater tidal marshes, mangrove margins, river mouths, and lagoons, often forming dense stands in nutrient-rich mudflats. The triangular stems are characteristic of the Schoenoplectus genus, which includes the common bulrush. Like other bulrushes, coast club-rush provides dense nesting habitat for rails, herons, and bitterns, as well as food in the form of seeds and stems for waterfowl. It plays an important ecological role in coastal nutrient cycling, sediment trapping, and shoreline stabilisation. The IUCN assesses the species as Least Concern, reflecting its wide distribution across tropical and subtropical coastal regions globally. In some areas, it competes with other emergent vegetation, and its stands can be dense enough to impede water flow in managed wetlands. It is used in some regions for thatching and traditional basketry.
