Habitat & Geographic Range

Bamboo bear

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, temperate coniferous forests, and temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, among 7 distinct biome types spanning the Indomalayan and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Found in China. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Collie Jacksonia

Habitat

Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.

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。

Collie Jacksonia

Jacksonia velveta, commonly known as Collie Jacksonia, is a plant species belonging to the genus Jacksonia within the family Fabaceae. This species is classified as Endangered, reflecting significant concern over its population status and the ongoing threats it faces within its native range. It has been documented in terrestrial and freshwater-associated habitat types, suggesting association with diverse environmental conditions typical of its region. Jacksonia species are generally shrubs or small trees native to Australia, and members of this genus are frequently found in heathland and woodland communities where they contribute to ground-cover vegetation. Specific country-level records are not detailed in current documentation for this species. Dietary behavior is not applicable to plant organisms; however, like other legumes, Jacksonia velveta may engage in nitrogen fixation through root-associated symbioses. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Conservation efforts for Endangered plant species such as Jacksonia velveta typically focus on habitat protection and restoration.
