    "Paraná Pine Tree (* also called araucária)

    Paraná Pine Tree (this tree is the symbol of the State of Paraná). I did this work in a small ranch owned by some friends, in the background you can see the mountain named "Morro do Anhangava" which is very well documented by painters of my State. This kind of pine tree is very common in the southeast area of Brazil."

    * translator's note

    These trees are gorgeous, aren't they? It's a pity they are in critical risk of extinction. Can you believe? I visited the south of Brazil about 2 years ago and I was very shocked to know that those beautiful araucárias / pine trees we see nowadays are remainders of a vegetation that was destroyed in the past generations for the commercial exploitation and the human ignorance about nature. We only have now a tiny tiny tiny amount of the original pine tree vegetation. You can search for more on google using the term "araucaria angustifolia". It's very interesting. I hope we can save this specimen, it would be very sad and tragic to see it silently going to the patch of extinction just because there are still some idiots that explore its wood illegally. It's a crime against the humanity after all.
