Bamboo bear

ジャイアントパンダ(Ailuropoda melanoleuca)は中国中部の山岳竹林に生息し、体重最大125キログラムになるクマ科の動物で、食肉目に分類されながら食事の99%を竹が占める特異な食性を持つ。偽の親指(橈側種子骨)を使って竹の茎を把握し、1日14時間もの採食時間を費やす。2016年にIUCNレッドリストで絶滅危惧から危急(VU)へ改善されており、保護繁殖プログラムと自然保護区の設置が個体数回復に貢献している。

Camarophyllopsis phaeophylla はヨーロッパ各地の古い改良されていない草地に生育する非常に希少な小型の暗色傘をもつキノコです。ワックスキャップ草地の最も信頼できる指標種のひとつとされ、生物多様性価値が高い生息地を示します。農業集約化、化学肥料の投入、伝統的な干し草地管理の喪失により深刻なリスクにさらされており、絶滅危機(CR)に分類されています。
