Habitat & Geographic Range
Clustered clover
Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.
Widely distributed across Africa (South Africa), Asia (Japan), Europe (10 countries), North America (Canada, United States), Oceania and the Pacific (Australia), and South America (Chile).
gorilla
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 4 distinct biome types within the Afrotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Distributed across Cameroon, Congo (Republic), Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
Clustered clover
Trifolium glomeratum, the clustered clover, is an annual herb in the family Fabaceae native to the Mediterranean region, including southern Europe, North Africa, and southwestern Asia. Like other clovers, it has trifoliate leaves and produces small, globe-shaped flower heads composed of numerous tiny pink to purplish-pink pea-type flowers. The specific epithet glomeratum means 'clustered into a rounded mass,' referring to the tightly grouped flowerheads that remain sessile (stalkless) amid the upper leaves. The species grows in dry, disturbed ground, sandy fields, roadsides, grasslands, and coastal areas where soils are thin and nutrient-poor. T. glomeratum has been widely naturalized outside its native range, particularly in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and parts of North and South America, where it can become a common weed of agricultural margins and waste ground. Like all clovers, it fixes atmospheric nitrogen through root nodule bacteria, contributing to soil fertility. It has not been formally evaluated by the IUCN for conservation status. The species is palatable to livestock and may be grazed where abundant.
gorilla
세계에서 가장 큰 영장류인 서부고릴라는 체중이 최대 180kg에 달하며 적도 아프리카의 열대 및 아열대 삼림에 서식한다. 주로 초식성이며, 무리를 보호하고 사회적 갈등을 중재하는 실버백 수컷이 이끄는 가족 집단을 이루어 생활한다. 삼림 벌채, 식육용 밀렵, 에볼라 바이러스 발병의 위협으로 인해 심각한 위기(CR) 종으로 지정되었다.
