I appreciate Dr Cribb's mentioning of 1% for Orchid Conservation (1% FOC) and his comments on the need to save orchid habitat . I think the saving of orchid habitat is something most of us can agree upon. I see no reason why there cannot be a nature reserve in the valley that P. kovachii grows in. The raising of funds to save orchid habitat is one of the primary goals of 1% FOC. We are asking orchid societies and businesses throughout the world to donate 1% of their net revenue towards in situ orchid conservation of their choice. Orchid habitat is declining, and it is up to us orchid growers to protect for future generations all the aspects of this great hobby or vocation that we enjoy . A well used statement from the Great Law of The Iroquois Confederacy " In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations."
