Love of orchids — and the related desire to study and own them — underpins a robust illegal trade that is thought to be responsible for wiping out entire species. jtim.es/3F6RXeX
Nature's mysteries! I was fortunate to capture the delicate beauty of these orchids somewhere in Makwanpur. Thank you for making my day♥️ #Diplomeris #Cymbidium #Peristylus #orchids
I presume these two orchids are magnificently blooming right now in the wild. #nepalorchids
After years of intensive research to understand extent of illegal & unregulated medicinal orchid trade & the first trial to monitor wild orchid harvest in Nepal, today we had a lively discussion with central-level key decision-makers, local govts. & researchers. #nepalorchids 1/3
We have guidelines to inform more #sustainable fishing, sustainable timber harvest, sustainable hunting ... But can wild #orchid harvest ever be sustainable? 🧵(1/6)
Dactylorhiza hatagirea, threatened by over-collection as a medicinal plant, is assessed as Endangered on the Global Red List. It is still being offered in large quantities by online sellers. An example: a screenshot of a site offering 1kg tubers, representing many individuals 😮
In the latest release @IUCNRedList, 28 orchids have been assessed - heartbreakingly 1 extinct (Govenia floridana, assessed by Vida Svahnströhm @KewSRLI ), 15 Critically Endangered, 11 Endangered. Most are #endemics to #Australia, thanks to Heidi Zimmer @CSIRO for taking the lead.
We had a series of insightful interactions with local communities in northern Gorkha, learning about the harvest, use and trade of medicinal plants. So much to learn from the harvesting communities for species conservation and sustainable use. #nepalorchids
Orchids are among the most beautiful & threatened plants on earth. Most people don't know that many orchids are illegally harvested for Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Unani medicine. Our Brief highlights this important, overlooked wildlife conservation issue. A #nepalorchids thread. 1/7
Last week, we supported DFO Makawanpur in organizing the first meeting of district-level Wildlife Crime Control Bureau. Also, we shared our research to help them identify medicinal orchids and other threatened wildlife in trade. #nepalorchids #killthetrade
Congratulations to @michaelffay60 and the team @BotJLinnSoc on reaching the milestone of Vol. 200! Great to see two important papers on #orchids, including one on #IllegalWildlifeTrade by members @IUCN_Orchids, are currently among the five "most read" articles. #BotJLinnSoc200

This morning we shared our research insights with key enforcement agencies in Kathmandu to curb illegal trade of pangolins, birds, turtles, orchids & more. Many thanks to DFO/WCCB & other authorities for listening to us & putting all efforts into curbing illegal wildlife trade.

Not widely documented as an #orchid used as a medicinal plant... colleagues @nepalorchids @GreenhoodNepal have documented large-scale commercial harvest of this spectacular species.

For #FascinationOfPlantsDay, let's take a moment to appreciate orchids in Nepal, for their breathtaking beauty and jaw-dropping possessions that have amazed us in ample ways. @PlantDay18May #FoPD22 #nepalorchids A thread:

Not widely documented as an #orchid used as a medicinal plant... colleagues @nepalorchids @GreenhoodNepal have documented large-scale commercial harvest of this spectacular species.
Pleione praecox - These graceful pinkish flowers might have grabbed your attention on many hiking trails in the mid-hills of Nepal. Unfortunately, they are also highly exposed to human threats and they need our serious attention just beyond appreciation. #FoPD22 #nepalorchids 2/6
Who's this got this, or Little Hazel 'M',bloom size, for sale(US🇺🇸)?Please,and Thank you.
#Cattlianthe Little Hazel ‘Red Jewel’ - This #orchid is still #FloweringNow on the same spike from last Halloween. There are more #flowers on a new growth coming. #orchids #Cattleya #Guarianthe #Sophronitis #Laelia
We know harvesting wild #orchids threatens species globally, but... Can it ever be sustainable? Study suggests traditional techniques in #Mexico might support livelihoods, culture & #conservation Blog--> tinyurl.com/fy24nrc6 @uaemorelos @fciencias @IUCNSULi @CommunitiesIWT
One of #NepalOrchids, Pleione praecox, is blooming --signalling the start of harvest for the medicinal #orchid trade. @GreenhoodNepal colleagues are collecting the first-ever baseline on this illegal but little understood trade. @iwtcf project on orchid conservation & trade.
The seizure of illegal orchids and other medicinal plants are increasing recently in Nepal (bit.ly/3umsFTJ @kantipurdaily). Check our work to strengthen the public awareness and enforcement to protect Nepal’s orchids at #NepalOrchids.
There is a thriving illegal trade in wild-harvested orchids globally, making them one of the most traded wildlife. Nepalese orchids are also being traded for their medicinal, ornamental and may other use. @sankuchy writes @globalvoices ➡️ bit.ly/3dMjapZ #nepalorchids

A new project by @_JPhelps & young Nepalese conservationists, aims to reveal the extent of the country’s illegal #orchid trade & explore options for creating a sustainable alternative. 📸S. Paudel (left) and R. Bashyal (centre; right) 📰lancaster.ac.uk/lec/about-us/n…

Have you seen this lovely orchid during your trek to the Himalayas? Oberonia, commonly known as fairy orchids grow on both wood and cracks of the rock. Oberonia and many other orchids are threatened due to overexploitation. For more orchid stories, stay tuned at #nepalorchids.
