Known as the "Great Grandfather," the trunk of this tree measuring four meters in diameter and 28 meters tall is also believed to contain scientific information that could shed light on how the planet has adapted to climatic changes.
Antonio Lara, a researcher from the laboratory of the Faculty of Science and Climate of the Austral University, observes the "Alerce Milenario" at the Alerce Costero National Park in Valdivia, Chile, taken on April 10, 2023. In a forest in southern Chile, protected from fires and logging that decimated the species, a giant alerce tree has survived for thousands of years. Scientists see in its trunk a valuable record of how life adapts to the changes on the planet.
It lives alongside other tree species, such as coigue, plum pine and tepa, Darwin's frogs, lizards, and birds such as the chucao tapaculo and Chilean hawk. Henrique's nephew, Jonathan Barichivich, grew up playing amongst the Fitzroya and is now one of the scientists studying the species.
