Araucaria... thay say they´re on the path of extinction

This is a Araucaria a type of pine that grows in South America and Australia, and as far as I know it´s on the path of extinction. The type Araucaria is derived from "Arauco", a region in central Chile where the Araucani Indians lived. They were fierce and stood up against spanish conquistadores for a long time. Just like the Araucaria that has daggerlike leaves and who, it´s being said, stood up to the dinosaurs. You can find a lot of Araucarias on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.
