Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.

cluster fig

Ficus congesta, a species within the enormously diverse fig genus of the family Moraceae, is a tropical tree producing characteristic clustered figs that ripen to attract frugivorous birds, bats, and mammals. The genus Ficus comprises over 800 species distributed pantropically, and F. congesta occupies forest habitats across Southeast Asia and Melanesia, where it grows in primary and secondary lowland tropical forests at varying elevations. Like other members of the genus, Ficus congesta maintains an obligate pollination mutualism with a specific fig wasp species in the family Agaonidae; each fig species and its wasp partner have co-evolved in tight specificity over millions of years. The tree produces figs in dense clusters on the trunk and branches, providing an abundant and reliable food source for wildlife that supplement more seasonal fruiting trees. Ficus congesta is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN given the breadth of its range across Melanesia and parts of island Southeast Asia. Figs serve critical ecological roles as keystone resources in tropical forests, sustaining frugivore populations during periods when other fruits are scarce. The species contributes to forest regeneration as frugivores disperse its seeds widely across the landscape.

jaguar

아메리카 대륙에서 가장 큰 고양잇과 동물로, 체중이 최대 100kg에 달하며 단단하고 근육질의 체형과 특유의 로제트 무늬 털가죽을 지닌다. 멕시코에서 남아메리카까지 분포하며, 아마존과 판타날이 주요 서식지다. 뛰어난 수영 실력을 갖춘 최상위 포식자로, 먹이 개체수 조절에 핵심적 역할을 한다. 산림 벌채로 인해 서식 범위가 줄어들어 준위협종으로 분류된다.
