The Ministry of the Environment has issued a strong warning after images emerged on social media of thrill seekers picking the rare Nepenthes Holdanii plant In the message, the Ministry states ‘What they are doing is wrong and please don’t do it again in the future! Thank you for loving natural resources, but don’t harvest so it goes to waste!’ The Ministry also noted that the plants are included in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which are not allowed to be traded.

 

It is believed that the suggestive images were taken on Bokor Mountain near Kampot – but an exact location has not yet been established. Nepenthes holdenii is a tropical pitcher plant from western Cambodia, where it grows at elevations of 600–800 m above sea level.

The plant uses a ‘passive trap’ to capture and devour insects.
