First modification:
The shihuahuaco tree, a giant of the Amazon rainforest, can measure up to 60 meters in height. Its hardwood is highly valued and sought after, being exported from Peru to China and Europe, especially France. In the last decade, Peru has exported around 500,000 tons of this wood. However, scientists warn that the shihuahuaco is in danger of extinction and could disappear from certain regions of the Amazon in a few years.
