Peter (Croezen) :
Thanks for the clarifications about your previous post about CITES ('13th meeting of CoP to CITES').
I am not sure I understand what you imply by "just two years ago we have seen the total depletion of Phragmipedium kovachii orchid habitats in Peru, a Party to CITES."
In Colombia, orchid habitats are destroyed by aerial spraying of illegal crops. Colombia is also a party to CITES.
What relation do you make between the destruction of orchid habitats and CITES ?
I would have thought that CITES would contribute, in spite of its flaws, to relieve the pressure on orchid habitats.
Regards,
Viateur
