Habitat & Geographic Range
ハクトウワシ
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.
Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).
Coastal Box
Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.
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。
Coastal Box
Eucalyptus quadrangulata, the coastal box, is a medium-sized eucalyptus tree in the family Myrtaceae native to the coast and ranges of eastern Australia, from southeastern Queensland through New South Wales to northeastern Victoria. The species grows in dry sclerophyll forest, woodland, and coastal heathland on a variety of substrates from sandy coastal soils to shallow clay soils on rocky outcrops. It reaches 12–25 meters in height and is characterized by persistent, hard, rough grey box-type bark covering the trunk and major branches, with smooth white to grey bark on the upper branches and smaller limbs. Cream-coloured flowers are produced in clusters that attract honeyeaters, lorikeets, and a range of insect pollinators. Eucalyptus quadrangulata is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, being moderately widespread along the eastern Australian coast, though coastal development, land clearing, and altered fire management have reduced the extent and connectivity of its habitat in some areas. The hard timber has historically been used for fence posts, railway sleepers, and construction, valued for its durability and density. It provides important habitat for hollow-dependent fauna including possums, gliders, owls, and parrots in eastern Australian forest ecosystems.
