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 Honeybush Tea

The common honeybush tea, <em>Cyclopia genistoides</em>, is a flowering shrub belonging to the family Fabaceae, the legume family. This species is native to the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa, where it is one of several Cyclopia species harvested for the production of honeybush herbal tea. <em>Cyclopia genistoides</em> is assessed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List, reflecting concerns about the sustainability of wild harvesting and the impact of habitat loss on its populations. The species typically grows in diverse terrestrial habitats within its native fynbos biome, one of the world's recognized biodiversity hotspots. As a legume, it is capable of nitrogen fixation through root symbioses with soil bacteria. No specific range or country data beyond its general habitat type are available in current records. No dietary information has been provided for this species. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
