Updates on the mossy forest site in Genting Highlands

[David]

Brought my son up to Genting Highlands yesterday to the mossy forest site where N. macfarlanei, N. ramispina and n. sanguinea grows together... but mainly N. macfarlanei grows here. I have not been to this site for more than 2 years.

Sad to say this is the state of the site now:



What it was more than 2 yers ago:



N. macfarlanei that was found there 2 years ago:





Found only one N. sanguinea, 2 ramispina and 1 dying N. macfarlanei. Below is the juveline N. sanguinea plant:

That's extreamly a sad news, that was the spot where we found the best looking N. macfarlanei around the Highland.
I was so down when David told me the news after he went there.

The mossy forest part has been cleared or disturbed and half of it is not accesible as the trees were fell blocking the path. Yup! TS is right... The macfarlanei there are beautiful. Lots of it... then... with baby plantlets all over the ground couple fo years back.

Ken, I did not go to the sanguinea site as my wife was terrified! There was a pack of dogs in the belukar at the macfarlanei site and they were barking at us when they heard us walking in the area. So she did not want to go to the sanguinea site. But even those few plants we spotted along the roadside are missing. Totally empty of Neps... I guess this is due to extensive poaching.

Haa haa... Haris... not sure if my son is lucky or not because i do not have CPs with me now. Only at my mother's place out of town and since I don't go back so often... she says the Neps are hers... haa haaa... But it was my son's first outing. Hopefully I can instill some interest in him.

it's sad and it's happening in most developing country-land for human settlement, development for factories and plantation to feed the hungry world.

In memory of the place...
