The TV and newspapapers here are full of the big Sarawak story – the setting up of Sarawaks first orchid propagation laboratory at MRSM school and its opening by the Chief Minister’s wife. Congratulations to the team at SARORSO for putting the project together and ensuring that it has as much educational impact as possible. The TV and newspapers are likely to be the first time most of the public will have learnt about orchid conservation and propagation and education through the media is vital for long term conservation.
