Caption: | New Zealand, North Island, Waipoua Kauri Forest: "Tane Mahuta" ("Lordof the Forest"), the largest surviving Kauri tree, 56 metres high with a 14-metre-thick trunk, estimated to be 1,200 years old. Its volume of wood is about 245 cubic metres. The crown of Tane Mahutra is a veritable ecosystem on its own, full of epiphytes and home to numerous creatures. |
