Tane Mahuta Kauri Tree - in Waipoua Kauri Forest.
New Zealand
Agathis australis
New Zealand's largest kauri tree over 1200 years old 51 metres tall and a girth of almost 14 metres. The Maori name is God or Lord of the Forest and is a survivor of the extensive kauri or dammar forests once widespread through the northern part of New Zealand. Once common in Australia as well as New Zealand kauri forests were decimated by loggers and gum diggers in the early 20th century. Kauri forests are now confined to the northern part of the North Island.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this awe-inspiring photo print, we are transported to the enchanting Waipoua Kauri Forest in New Zealand. Standing tall at a staggering 51 meters and boasting a girth of nearly 14 meters, MAB-552 is no ordinary tree – it's an ancient giant! With over 1200 years under its belt, this kauri tree has witnessed centuries unfold. Known as Tane Mahuta in Maori folklore, this majestic being embodies the spirit of nature itself. Once part of vast kauri forests that stretched across New Zealand and Australia, these giants faced near extinction due to logging and gum digging activities. But against all odds, our hero stands firm as a testament to resilience. With its evergreen foliage reaching for the sky like outstretched arms, Tane Mahuta commands attention from all who pass by on their journey through Waipoua Forest. Its trunk tells stories of generations past while promising hope for future ones. Let us pause for a moment before this living legend – not just a mere tree but an embodiment of strength and endurance. May it continue to thrive under protection so that future generations can marvel at its grandeur and learn from its remarkable history.
