kupariparikaapelista

Kupariparikaapelista, also known as the Copper Beech, is a species of tree native to the tropical rainforests of South America, particularly in the Amazon Basin. It is a member of the Fagaceae family, which also includes beech trees. The tree is valued for its durable, reddish-brown wood, which is often used in construction, furniture making, and tool handles due to its hardness and resistance to rot. The wood is also used in musical instruments, such as guitars, due to its resonant properties.

The Kupariparikaapelista tree can grow up to 30 meters tall, with a trunk diameter of up to 1 meter. It has a broad, rounded canopy and smooth, gray bark. The leaves are simple, alternate, and have a leathery texture. The tree produces small, white flowers that are pollinated by insects, and the fruits are small, round, and edible, containing a single seed.

The tree is considered endangered due to habitat loss and overharvesting. Conservation efforts are underway to protect the remaining populations and ensure the survival of this valuable species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed the Kupariparikaapelista as Vulnerable on the Red List of Threatened Species.
