I was wondering If someone established a non-profit, The Orchid
Presevation Society, paying for Orchid Genome Project, got afew
million if funding to provide grants to afew universites and pay for
collecting endagered orchids could it bring them in under CITES, If
the orchids went to a research facility to get sequenced. One of the
requirements for the research facility would be to create mericlone
flask, the Society would get flasks, the Orchid Hunter would get one.

Clones of the new species would be avalible to members of the Society
would be able to bid at semi-annual fund-raiser auctions.

As these are clones of the wild plant which is still in a non profit
research collection, they should be able to go plublic.

If there are any holes in this please tell me,

If not anyone know a good Tax and Incorperation lawyer and CPA

PS this hopefully would also esblish a genetic libary so everyone else
bringing new plants would have less of trouble with customs
