Thomas, thank you very much for reporting that alarming news to us here. Jens Kühne, as we know him, is a very good specialist of the changing countryside in Thailand, Malaysia and the adjacent countries; snd so this is very important for us to know.
In the original text that you gave me beforehand he told us to collect money in order to buy the endangered land. Well, at first we should know whether the owners (the Malaysian state? or a private owner?) would be ready to sell it, at second we should know how much would the price be.
But the main problem seems to me the fact that it is useless to buy a habitat only. The important surrounding woods and swamps must be included, at least to sufficient an extent, in order to make the habitat sure for the future.
Are there people who could answer these questions?
In principle the opinion “buy” is certainly fully right. But I fear that collecting the money would last some time and then it could be too late.
But I am really interested in the answers to my questions. Are there people who are able to reply?
