Exclamation Poaching

Went trekking today and very sad to see a poacher on my way back
When I saw the car park by the roadside I can guess that most likely is looking for flora/fauna... especially pitcher.

I continue my way back and I saw the guy (chinese) down the hill looking for plants, he look suspicious so I took a photo of what he's doing.

I suspect that he is cutting pitcher so I turn back to find out and then saw him already came up to the roadside, when he saw me coming over he quickly put a big plastic bag fill with pitcher plants into his car and drove away.
From the amount of pitcher he took, I believe he's a commercial grower.
Those pitcher that he took are HL neps like macfarlanei and sanguinea
