African elephant

非洲象是地球上体型最大的陆地动物，体重可达7,000千克，栖息于撒哈拉以南非洲的草原、稀树草原和森林中。作为关键种，它们通过挖掘水源、传播种子和改变植被结构，深刻塑造了其栖息地的生态系统。受栖息地丧失和象牙盗猎威胁，非洲象的保护至关重要。

非洲灰鸚鵡

非洲灰鹦鹉被公认为最具智慧的鹦鹉物种和最强大的鸟类声音模仿者，能够掌握超过1,000个词汇，并表现出对零的概念、颜色、形状和相对大小的理解能力。原产于从科特迪瓦到肯尼亚的赤道非洲热带雨林，以大群聚居。由于每年多达21%的野生个体遭到捕捉以满足宠物贸易需求，以及森林砍伐的双重威胁，已成为濒危物种。《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约》附录一对其贸易实施严格限制。
