Habitat

Inhabits tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests and tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas within the Neotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Asia (Japan, Singapore, United Arab Emirates), Europe (7 countries), and South America (Argentina, Bolivia).

Chittick

The Chittick (Lambertia inermis) is a flowering shrub in the family Proteaceae, endemic to southwestern Western Australia — one of the world's most significant plant biodiversity hotspots. It belongs to the genus Lambertia, a small Australian endemic genus of about ten species collectively known as honeysuckles, characterised by tubular, brightly coloured flowers adapted for pollination by honeyeaters and other nectar-feeding birds. Lambertia inermis produces clusters of red or yellow tubular flowers at the branch tips, providing an important food resource for native wildlife. The species grows in the kwongan heathland and mallee scrubland vegetation communities of the Southwest Australian Floristic Region, occurring on nutrient-poor, sandy or lateritic soils. Its name inermis, meaning unarmed or spineless, distinguishes it from relatives with spiny bracts. The IUCN classifies this species as Vulnerable, reflecting the significant threats facing the Southwest Australian Floristic Region, including extensive land clearing for agriculture, altered fire regimes, disease — particularly the root rot pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi — and increasingly severe drought driven by climate change. Conservation of kwongan heathland, through management of Phytophthora spread and sensitive fire management, is essential for the long-term survival of Chittick and hundreds of other endemic plant species sharing its habitat.

ハッカチョウ

カンムリハッカ（Acridotheres cristatellus）はIUCNレッドリストで軽度懸念（LC）に分類される。分布域全体で広く豊富に生息し、個体数は安定しており、即座の保全上の懸念はない。
