pigargo-americano

A ave nacional dos Estados Unidos e símbolo do sucesso conservacionista americano, a águia-careca tem uma envergadura de até 2,4 metros e habita florestas e zonas húmidas próximas de águas abertas em toda a América do Norte. Quase extinta na década de 1960 devido ao envenenamento por DDT e à caça, recuperou de forma notável após as proibições de pesticidas e a Lei das Espécies em Perigo.

common boobialla

The common boobialla (<em>Myoporum insulare</em>) is a shrub or small tree species with a broad geographic distribution, occurring in Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, South Africa, and Spain. This species typically inhabits diverse terrestrial environments, thriving in coastal scrublands, dunes, and open woodlands. As a member of the family Scrophulariaceae, the common boobialla is often prized for its hardiness and tolerance of salt spray and dry conditions. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating stable populations across its range. The species produces small white flowers and dark berries that are attractive to birds and other wildlife, contributing to local biodiversity. Its ability to colonize sandy soils and exposed coastal environments makes it a common component of littoral vegetation communities. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
