Fire salamander
ファイアサラマンダー(Salamandra salamandra)はIUCNレッドリストで危急(VU)に分類される。野生での絶滅リスクが高く、個体数は減少傾向にあり、生息地への圧力が高まっている。
gray wolf
最も広い分布域を持つ野生のイヌ科動物であるハイイロオオカミは、北アメリカからユーラシアにかけてのツンドラ、森林、草原などの多様な生息地に分布します。優位な繁殖ペアに率いられた家族単位の群れで生活する高度に社会的な動物です。キーストーン捕食者として獲物個体群を調整し、生態系の構造を根本的に形成することは、イエローストーンでの再導入により実証されています。かつて激しく迫害されましたが、多くの地域で個体群は回復しつつあります。
