白头海雕

白头海雕是美国国鸟，也是美国生态保护史上的成功案例，曾因滴滴涕（DDT）的广泛使用而濒临灭绝，经保护措施的实施后种群数量已显著恢复。该物种在IUCN红色名录中被评估为无危（LC），以白色头颈和尾羽与深棕色体羽形成的鲜明对比为主要识别特征。它们主要以鱼类为食，也会捕食哺乳动物和腐肉。

Chorokhian Dead Nettle

The Chorokhian Dead-Nettle (Lamium tschorochense) is a Critically Endangered flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae (mint family), endemic to the Coruh River valley region in the Artvin Province of northeastern Turkey and adjacent Georgia. Dead-nettles of the genus Lamium are herbaceous plants named for their superficial resemblance to stinging nettles (Urtica) but lacking the stinging trichomes — hence 'dead' nettle. The genus comprises about 50 species across Europe, Asia, and North Africa, producing the characteristic two-lipped, tubular flowers typical of Lamiaceae in pink, purple, white, or yellow. The Chorokhian Dead-Nettle is endemic to the steep, rocky gorges and riparian vegetation of the Çoruh (Chorokhi) River — one of Turkey's fastest-flowing and most ecologically important rivers. This restricted range makes the species acutely vulnerable to the ongoing construction of a cascade of large hydroelectric dams on the Çoruh River, which has flooded significant areas of the gorge habitats. The IUCN critically endangered classification reflects both the extremely limited range and the direct, irreversible destruction of habitat by dam inundation. Few species of flowering plant face a more immediate, concrete threat to their existence than those confined to river gorges scheduled for flooding.
