Church Blossom (Capparidastrum frondosum) is a tropical shrub or small tree in the family Capparaceae (caper family), native to Brazil and Colombia in South America. The genus Capparidastrum comprises Neotropical shrubs and small trees related to the true capers (Capparis), bearing alternate leaves and typically showy flowers with prominent stamens, characteristic of the caper family. C. frondosum is found in lowland to lower montane forest habitats in its Brazilian and Colombian range. Plants in the caper family produce glucosinolates and other secondary metabolites that serve as chemical defenses against herbivory. The flowers of Capparidastrum attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators seeking nectar and pollen. The common name Church Blossom may reference the ornamental appearance of the flowers or their use in religious or ceremonial contexts in local communities. The species has not been formally assessed for conservation status by the IUCN and is listed as Not Evaluated. Tropical forest habitats in Brazil and Colombia are under substantial pressure from deforestation, agricultural expansion, and cattle ranching, which pose potential threats to populations of forest-dependent species like C. frondosum.

Leao

O maior felino selvagem da África, o leão pode atingir até 250 kg e é o único felídeo social, vivendo em grupos nas savanas e pastagens da África Subsaariana. Os machos se distinguem por suas icônicas juba. Como predadores de topo, regulam as populações de herbívoros e mantêm o equilíbrio do ecossistema. Classificado como Vulnerável devido à perda de habitat e ao conflito entre humanos e vida selvagem.
