We are here saying Orchids are only picked up from nature, they are not cultivated and they have small and unique habitats. now there is an over-exploitation of these plants. of course there are some attempts to grow them out of their natural habitats but most of them failed.
the most important subject is, we losted many species. I dont think caring about living things is a romantism.
Actually, I agree with Janissary here. We have farmed salmon here, but it tastes horrible. We have almost made wild salmon extinct in CA with various wreckless policies, such as damning the rivers they need to spawn. For the last two years the commercial fishermen have not been allowed to fish salmon. I really miss wild CA salmon.
We thought farming them would be good, but it is actually more harmful to the habitat. We have to catch tons of other fish to feed them, then there is the problem of getting rid of their feces....all in all, it doesn´t work very well. The same thing happened with abalone, They are almost extinct as well. They are just hanging on. We had amazing forrests of redwoods, but some people cut them all down in some places to sell the wood. Trees that took hundreds of years to grow....gone forever. What was planted in their place contaminated the ground making other species growth all but impossible....but those trees are fire hazards and not able to tolerate the weather changes here.
I hope the Environmental movement in Turkey grows before too much damage is done.
