Does anyone care about conservation?
Because you can get busted for doing so. Chances are, a hobbyist caught in
the act wouldn't get more than a warning -- unless the enforcement officer happened to be having a really bad day ... A professional grower would get in a lot more trouble. Then there's the issue of what to do with them after you rescue them. Do you have room to keep them all? If not, you need to sell, trade or give some away -- and each person who gets one is another opportunity to get the rescuer in trouble. There was a guy busted recently for selling illegally-collected orchids on e-bay. Undoubtedly, some of those plants came from protected reserves and he deserves to be punished for collecting those. But I suspect (without real evidence) that some would more properly be called rescues from areas about to be destroyed. The authorities don't appear interested in distinguishing.

SNIP As for Rape and Pillage, If a place is going to be destoyed ie. logging or development, why not go in and take out what you can, how you can, the "natural" enviroment is going bye bye. |
