A single oak tree can host over 300 different animal species
In short: Explore why the Iberian Oak Forest is one of Europe's most vital ecosystems. This video examines how these massive trees support a complex web of life, from endangered raptors to the world's rarest feline.
The oak forests of southern Europe and North Africa serve as critical habitats for diverse wildlife. A single tree can provide a home for more than 300 species, including the critically endangered imperial eagle, storks, genets, and mice.
These forests also sustain large herbivores like deer, wild boars, and cranes, which in turn provide a food source for the prowling Iberian lynx—currently recognized as the world's rarest feline.
