The Guaiteca’s Cypress inhabits the southern lands of America. It is the southernmost conifer on the planet. In the midst of landscapes marked by ice and water, it has known how to grow in swamps or wet-meadows, where other species cannot survive. But uncontrolled fires that occurred for decades, produced by the cattle colonization of the last century, devastated its forests. And its wood, cut into poles, and taken to the Patagonian steppes, was an important bargaining chip. Its use was essential for the immense cattle ranches. Today, slowly, it begins to repopulate its former territory.
