Allen,
Too many IFs until I also dunno what you're trying to say la....
The point is, what are the objectives that we are trying to achieve that is suitable and sustainable to do it in our country with our very limited time and resources. Which species/hybrids that we shd be concentrating on, who shd be doing the field work to do accessment on the current and latest developments (sites that are going/being clear away).
Cello,
Thanks for your explaination and your offer to help.
I've another question for you, I would like to know what you would do in this case....
Let's say you come across a source that collected
N. clipeata from the wild. Would you buy it so that you can help to increase the gene pool on the recorded clipeata existing in cultivation (TC clones and other individual plants) in the world?? As far as I understand, there're still too little different individuals of
N. clipeata that make it viable to do species breeding program so that one day, we can create enough viable offspring to be distributed among cultivation or even to repopulate the origin site. To me, if there's only so many (very limited amount) different individual of
N. clipeata exist now for breeding program,
N. clipeata may as well be categorize as "
Extinct"....
My question, if you have the means to obtain one or a few different distinct individual
N. clipeata, do you feel it's your
responsibility as an enthusiast and conservationist to obtain it so you can help in the endeavour eventhough you know the plants were poarched from the wild?
