The Alerce Fitzroya cupressoides (Endangered), confined to southern Chile and adjacent Argentina, is one of the largest trees in temperate South America and as a result has been heavily logged since the end of the 16th century. The species has been eliminated from nearly all the lowland sites, and at higher altitudes the trees are often burnt and illegally logged. Present estimates of the area occupied by the remaining stands is 20,000 ha, 15% of their original extent when Europeans arrived.
