| Thanks Cynthia.
I come from the island of Borneo and a large are of this island is still covered with virgin jungle though some areas have been developed for oil palm plantation. There are more than a thousand species of orchid found in this island and most of which are found in jungle of Crooker Range with cooler climate (below 70 deg F).
Some of the villagers earn their living by selling young orchids they collected from the jungle in their own land (obviously not from the government forest reserve). A young orchid will cost you as little as a dollar each.
Thank You. |
