Podocarpus parlatorei

"Podocarpus parlatorei is an evergreen tree that can grow from 15 - 30 metres tall . . . The tree is harvested from the wild for its good quality wood, which is used locally and also commonly traded. It is also used as a living fence and is a natural pioneer specis that can be used to restore native woodland. Historically this species was subject to heavy logging for its timber, which led to its inclusion in CITES Appendix I in 1975. Today it is mainly threatened by loss of habitat due to human-set fires associated with the management of grassland areas for livestock ranching, although it is also an important commercial timber. However, generally speaking this species is an effective pioneer species, and abundant regeneration usually occurs following large-scale disturbances of anthropogenic and natural origin. The plant is classified as 'Near Threatened' in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species."
