Lithocarpus Hallieri

Halli's ironwood, scientifically known as Lithocarpus hallieri, is a rare and ancient tree species native to the dense rainforests of New Guinea. This evergreen tree is prized for its exceptionally hard and durable wood, which has been used by indigenous communities for centuries. Despite its ecological and cultural significance, Halli's ironwood faces increasing threats from deforestation and habitat loss. Its unique appearance, with thick bark and glossy leaves, makes it a striking feature of its environment. Conservation efforts are now underway to protect this remarkable species from extinction.
