Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).
Cokerite Palm
Typically found in grasslands, wetlands, forests, and cultivated landscapes.
Distributed across Brazil and Colombia.
Белоголовый орлан
The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.
Cokerite Palm
The Cokerite Palm (Attalea maripa), also known as Maripa Palm or Inajá, is a solitary, tall-growing feather palm in the family Arecaceae, distributed across the lowland rainforests, forest edges, and floodplain forests of Amazonian South America, primarily in Brazil and Colombia, with additional records from Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador. Trees typically reach 15–25 metres in height, producing large pinnate fronds and impressive clusters of ovoid fruits with an oily, yellow-orange outer mesocarp surrounding a hard-shelled nut. The palm is widely used by indigenous and traditional communities throughout Amazonia: the oil-rich mesocarp of the fruits is eaten fresh and used to produce a nutritious food paste; the apical bud (palm heart) is consumed; the young leaves are used for basket weaving and thatching; and the trunk wood serves in construction. Attalea maripa frequently regenerates vigorously in disturbed forest and pasture margins, indicating tolerance for light disturbance. It plays an important ecological role as a food source for large frugivores including tapirs, peccaries, and macaws that help disperse its large seeds. The species is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, with stable populations across its broad Amazonian range.
