Lion
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 7 distinct biome types spanning the Afrotropic and Neotropic and Oceanian realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, and Kenya. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
Common Oak
ヨーロッパで最も重要かつ広く分布する落葉樹の一つであるイングリッシュオーク(Quercus robur)は、1,000年以上生き、高さ40mに達し、ヨーロッパのどの樹種よりも多くの生物多様性を支える。2,300種以上の昆虫・菌類・地衣類・苔・鳥類が成熟したナラに直接依存している。ヨーロッパ全域から西アジアにかけての温帯林に分布し、その硬くて耐久性のある木材は歴史的に造船・建築・樽製造に欠かせなかった。
Lion
アフリカ最大の野生ネコ科動物で最大250kgに達し、サハラ以南のサバンナや草原に生息する唯一の社会性ネコ科動物です。雄は象徴的なたてがみで識別されます。頂点捕食者として草食動物の個体群を調節し、生態系のバランスを維持します。生息地の喪失と人間との軋轢により危急種に分類されています。
