Habitat & Geographic Range

chimpanzee

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 5 distinct biome types within the Afrotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Cameroon, Congo (DRC), Guinea, Tanzania, and Uganda. Currently classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

cade

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, temperate grasslands and steppes, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 6 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Africa (Libya), Europe (6 countries), North America (United States), Oceania and the Pacific (Australia), and South America (Argentina, Brazil). Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

chimpanzee

O chimpanzé-comum (Pan troglodytes) é o primata não humano mais próximo geneticamente dos humanos, compartilhando 98,7% do DNA. Habita florestas tropicais e savanas arborizadas da África Ocidental e Central. Vive em comunidades sociais complexas com hierarquia clara. Utiliza ferramentas como paus para extrair cupins e pedras para quebrar nozes. Possui rica comunicação gestual e vocal. Classificado como espécie em risco, ameaçado pela caça, perda de habitat e doenças.

Common Juniper (<em>Juniperus communis</em>) is a coniferous shrub or small tree in the family Cupressaceae and one of the most widely distributed woody plants in the Northern Hemisphere. It is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, indicating population declines driven by habitat loss, overgrazing, and changes in land management. The species has a remarkably broad native range spanning Africa (Libya), Europe (six countries), North America (United States), Oceania (Australia), and South America (Argentina and Brazil). It typically inhabits six distinct biome types and occurs within both the Neotropic and Palearctic biogeographic realms. Common Juniper grows in heathlands, rocky slopes, calcareous grasslands, open woodlands, and alpine environments, often colonizing nutrient-poor soils where competition from other plants is limited. Its berries are widely used as a flavoring for gin and in traditional cuisine. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
