Habitat & Geographic Range

Angelin

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, flooded grasslands and savannas, and deserts and xeric shrublands, among 4 distinct biome types spanning the Afrotropic and Palearctic and Indomalayan realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Africa (Chad, Guinea), Asia (India, Singapore), North America (Cuba), and South America (Brazil, Colombia).

Coffee

Habitat

Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

Range

Widely distributed across Africa (8 countries), Asia (5 countries), Europe (Spain, United Kingdom), North America (Costa Rica, United States), Oceania and the Pacific (8 countries), and South America (6 countries).

Angelin

The Angelin (Andira inermis) is a species in the genus Andira. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, flooded grasslands and savannas, and deserts and xeric shrublands, among 4 distinct biome types spanning the Afrotropic and Palearctic and Indom.

Coffee

Coffee (Coffea arabica) is a woody shrub or small tree in the family Rubiaceae, native to the montane forests of Ethiopia and Yemen, where it was discovered and first cultivated before spreading globally to become one of the world's most economically important crops. Plants grow 2–10 metres tall in the wild but are typically pruned to 2–3 metres in cultivation, producing glossy elliptical leaves and clusters of fragrant white flowers followed by cherry-like drupes that ripen from green through yellow to deep red. Each fruit contains two seeds—the coffee beans—surrounded by layers of sweet pulp, parchment, and silver skin. Coffea arabica is a diploid tetraploid (2n = 44) that produces smoother, more aromatic coffee than its sibling species Coffea canephora (Robusta). Wild populations in Ethiopian highland forests represent an important reservoir of genetic diversity for the global coffee industry and are threatened by deforestation and climate change, which is altering the geographic suitability of arabica cultivation. Commercial plantations extend from Colombia, Brazil, and Central America through East Africa to India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. As a shade-tolerant understorey plant in its native montane habitat, Coffea arabica supports biodiversity in agroforestry systems. Despite its vast cultivation, wild arabica populations face significant conservation concern.
