well, how do you expect them to know plucking some neps from the wild is illegal. With the rapid development going on in this country, it is just the matter of time these neps and plants are all going to be destroyed, a real clear example would be Cyberjaya, today you might saw a bunch of n. gracilis growing abundantly, by tomorrow, you might saw the same spot being wiped up totally for construction. Taking a bunch of neps doesn't necessarily means he will own all of it, he might distribute them around to close friends like how rural area people do before any land is destroyed for oil palm estate, the point is that he ensure survival of species of nep from that area before demolition begin or might even end up entering this hobby and found out such action is illegal/unethical. Don't just judge it in one way as this is not fair to people who are unaware cping ethic which are quite unknown to outsider
