American Bald Eagle

흰머리독수리(Haliaeetus leucocephalus)는 미국의 국조이자 미국 자연 보전 성공의 상징으로, 날개 폭이 최대 2.4미터에 달하며 북미 전역의 수변 삼림과 습지에 서식한다. 주로 물고기를 포식하는 강력한 공중 포식자이자 청소 동물로, DDT 오염과 남획으로 1960년대에 멸종 위기에 처했으나 농약 사용 금지와 멸종위기종보호법 시행 이후 극적으로 개체수가 회복되었다.

Fuscidea praeruptorum은 Fuscideaceae과의 딱지 지의류로 취약(VU)으로 평가된다. 안정적이고 교란되지 않은 서식지의 규질 암석 표면에 자라며 대기 오염과 토지 이용 변화에 민감하다. 적합한 청정 대기 암석 기질의 제한적 분포를 반영하여 취약 등급이 부여되었다.
