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. The 'Great Grandfather' tree, 28 meters tall and four meters in diameter, is in the process of being certified as the oldest on the planet at more than 5,000 years, older than the Methuselah pine of the United States, which was identified as the oldest in the world at 4,850 years.
