gorilla

世界最大の霊長類であるニシゴリラは体重が最大180kgに達し、赤道アフリカの熱帯・亜熱帯の森林に生息する。主に草食性で、群れを守り社会的な対立を仲裁するシルバーバック雄が率いる家族集団を形成する。森林破壊、食肉目的の密猟、エボラウイルス感染症の流行により脅威にさらされており、近絶滅種（CR）に指定されている。

Rice

人類史上最も重要な食用作物である稲は、世界人口の半数以上を養い、アジア、アフリカ、ラテンアメリカの主食穀物である。約9,000年前に中国の長江流域で野生の Oryza rufipogon から栽培化された稲作は、文明、景観、生態系を形成してきた。湛水田耕作は渡り鳥、両生類、水生無脊椎動物のための広大な湿地生息地を作り出す一方、大量のメタンを排出する。
