Abstract
Dendrochronological techniques have proved to be an effective tool in the investigation of illegal cutting of Fitzroya because it is illegal to trade and cut wood coming from living individuals or from trees that were killed after 1976 either by natural or anthropogenic causes. Accurate cross-dating of death or burn dates provides strong evidence for prosecution in the legal enforcement of the ban and an important defense in the protection of this and other endangered species. Some examples illustrate the application of these dating techniques and discuss potential difficulties.
