Default Re: Some news from Bokor Hill

Indeed it is sad news for nature. On the other hand, Cambodia and its people needs investors and businesses to develop the backward country. I hate to loose the biodiversity but this I call it a cost of development.

Like the song from Counting Crows and I quote (I modified in red):
They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

They took all the Nepenthes, and put em in a Plant museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot
