Endangered Orchids


Dr Eric Danell summarises what is needed to protect endangered orchids.
Q: How do we go about implementing procedures for protecting endangered  orchids?
ED: Five things are needed.
We need national parks.
We need good laws and law enforcement.
We need to fight poverty.
We need a good education system so everybody in society is aware of their native flora and fauna.
And we need responsible orchid collectors.
