Wonderful pictures though such a sad prospect for something so beautiful.
Did you try to salvage some ?
I agree with Ah Meng, you should save some. With something as unique as that it would be a pity to lose it forever!!!!
Both of you are right of course. The great contradictions in places like Borneo is that the CITES "protected" plants like the Nepenthes can be destroyed by local developers but not taken out of the country legally.
So even if I did remove some, I couldn't tell...
This international treaty, CITES, which was meant to save flora and fauna, is not drafted well at all, for plants at least - I think.
Boarding a flight in a few hours...will be MIA for a a few weeks.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving !
I hope you got some to plant at your place if possible. Too much red tape; like everywhere.
Ya too much concern with shopping malls and lining developers' pockets is all too often the norm in Malaysia :(
Yes this is such a sad state of affair in this part of the world. I know quite a few academics feel that CITES need to be redrafted, but politics is preventing this.
