ヒメコンゴウインコ

メキシコ南部からボリビアおよびブラジルに至る中南米熱帯林に生息する中型マコウインコで、栗色の前頭部、赤い肩の斑点、青い風切羽を持つ主に緑色の羽毛が特徴だ。真のマコウインコの中で最小の種で、林縁、サバンナ、二次林に生息し、農作物を荒らすことも多く地元農民には不人気なこともある。人気の飼育用鳥だが、野生個体群は捕獲と森林破壊による圧力を受けている。

Clusterspike False Indigo

Amorpha crenulata, known as clusterspike false indigo or crenulate lead plant, is a critically endangered flowering shrub in the family Fabaceae with a highly restricted distribution confined to Miami-Dade County in southern Florida, USA. This species represents one of North America's rarest plants, with remaining populations numbering in the hundreds of individuals occurring in pine rockland habitat, an ecosystem itself ranked among the most imperiled in the United States. Pine rocklands are fire-dependent communities on exposed oolitic limestone, characterized by an open canopy of slash pine over diverse understory, and have been reduced to less than two percent of their historical extent by urban development in the Miami metropolitan area. Amorpha crenulata produces elongated spikes of small purple flowers typical of the genus and was historically more widespread across the Miami Rock Ridge before land development eliminated most habitat. Current populations exist primarily within Everglades National Park and a few private preserves. Its Critically Endangered status reflects the tiny remaining population, extreme habitat restriction, ongoing threats from urbanization, altered fire regimes, and sea-level rise that threatens low-elevation limestone habitats. Conservation efforts focus on habitat protection, controlled burning to maintain pine rockland structure, and ex situ seed banking.
