Habitat & Geographic Range

chimpanzee

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 5 distinct biome types within the Afrotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Cameroon, Congo (DRC), Guinea, Tanzania, and Uganda. Currently classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Common Ivy

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including temperate coniferous forests, montane grasslands and shrublands, and Mediterranean forests and woodlands within the Palearctic biogeographic realm.

Range

Widely distributed across Africa (5 countries), Asia (4 countries), Europe (6 countries), North America (Canada, Mexico, United States), Oceania and the Pacific (Australia, New Zealand), and South America (7 countries).

chimpanzee

黑猩猩是人类最近的现生亲属，与人类共享约98.7%的DNA，栖息于中非和西非的热带森林和稀树草原林地。高度智慧的群居灵长类动物，能使用和制造工具，展示文化传统，并以丰富的发声进行交流，包括独特的喘叫声。由于森林砍伐、丛林肉猎杀和人类传播疾病，黑猩猩被列为濒危物种，种群持续减少。

Common Ivy

<em>Hedera helix</em>, commonly known as common ivy or English ivy, is a woody evergreen climber and groundcover in the family Araliaceae. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, with a very wide global distribution across the Palearctic realm and beyond, encompassing temperate and Mediterranean habitats. The species is native to Europe and western Asia and has been widely introduced elsewhere. It typically grows in woodlands, hedgerows, cliffs, walls, and urban green spaces, tolerating deep shade and a wide range of soil conditions. Common ivy provides important ecological services, offering shelter and late-season nectar and fruit resources for wildlife. Diet information for this species is not available in current records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
