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。

Common Sunshine Conebush

<em>Leucadendron salignum</em>, the common sunshine conebush, is a shrub in the family Proteaceae, order Proteales. It is endemic to the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa, one of the most biodiverse areas on Earth, where it typically grows in fynbos vegetation on sandy, acidic, nutrient-poor soils. The species is highly variable in appearance, with forms ranging from low-growing and prostrate to upright multi-stemmed shrubs, and is among the most common and widespread species in the genus <em>Leucadendron</em>. It is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants, and the colorful bracts surrounding the flower heads, which often turn yellow or red, serve as important attractants for pollinators. <em>Leucadendron salignum</em> is well adapted to fire, regenerating from its rootstock following periodic fynbos burns. Precise geographic range data beyond the Cape Floristic Region remain incompletely documented. Biological traits including typical lifespan and reproductive metrics remain poorly documented. The species is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, though the ongoing degradation and fragmentation of fynbos habitats through agriculture and invasive species management remains a regional concern.
