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).
Cochabamba Mountain-Finch
Typically found in various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments.
Found in Norway. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.
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。
Cochabamba Mountain-Finch
The Cochabamba mountain finch (Poospiza garleppi) is a small, brightly marked tanager-finch restricted to the eastern Andean slopes and intermontane valleys of central Bolivia, principally in the Cochabamba and Potosí departments. Males display a striking pattern of chestnut, black, and white, while females are more subdued, as is typical of the genus Poospiza. The species inhabits scrubby woodland, thorny thickets, and the borders of humid montane forest at elevations roughly between 2,500 and 3,500 metres, where it forages for seeds, berries, and arthropods. It is generally found in pairs or small family groups, and like other mountain finches it produces a pleasant, varied song used in territorial advertisement. Poospiza garleppi has a narrow, fragmented range and is classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN. The primary threats are habitat degradation through overgrazing, agricultural conversion, and charcoal production in its limited Bolivian highland zone. The species has no regular presence in Norway; country-level database entries indicating otherwise reflect a data artifact unrelated to its actual distribution. Surveys in appropriate Bolivian montane habitat have confirmed persistence of small populations, but the restricted area of occupancy and ongoing pressure from land use change make continued monitoring essential. Formal protected areas within its Bolivian range provide some security, though enforcement and habitat quality within those areas remain concerns for conservationists.
