Could a Non-Profit for gathering genitic samples of orchids get past CITES
Jack,
That is a terrific idea. One step that could be taken is for those here who
are part of one or more orchid societies lobby their societies to take part.
Another would be for orchid vendors here to consider the potential benefits
for their businesses, in order to encourage their peers to participate;
similarly with breeders. If small to medium size businesses, especially,
can see a benefit for their bottom line from such a venture, many would
eagerly participate.
Are you going to lead such an initiative?
Cheers,
Ted
