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。

Coastal Silver Mallee

Coastal silver mallee (Eucalyptus ecostata) is a multi-stemmed mallee eucalyptus in the family Myrtaceae, endemic to the southwest of Western Australia, where it grows in coastal heath, scrub, and mallee shrublands on sandy or lateritic soils near the Indian Ocean coast. Like other mallees, it regenerates vigorously from a lignotuber after fire, a critical adaptation in fire-prone Mediterranean-climate vegetation. Leaves are silvery-grey on young growth, giving rise to the common name, while older foliage is greener. The species produces creamy white to yellow flowers that attract native bees and honeyeaters. Eucalyptus ecostata is assessed as Near Threatened by the IUCN, reflecting a restricted range in the Southwest Australian Floristic Region—one of the world's biodiversity hotspots—and vulnerability to habitat clearing for agriculture, altered fire regimes, and invasion by introduced weeds such as Phytophthora cinnamomi, a root pathogen that has devastated many Australian plant species. Conservation efforts in the region focus on protecting remnant coastal heath and mallee vegetation within the Southwest's network of national parks and nature reserves.
