Not sure why I have the word "don't" in there, guess I went back to edit
part of a sentence and accidentally left an extra word.

I don't think recent numbers for Ecuador are around 4000 species, and
Colombia is in the same ballpark (the number of species for Colombia is a
little smaller now, but it will probably increase if the entire country
ever becomes safe for exploration.) It's more like 20% of the world's
orchids.
