The Wider Image: Taiwan plant hunters race to collect rare species before they are gone
Dr. Cecilia Koo Botanic Conservation Center employees Hung Hsin-chieh, a research assistant, and Cheng Ken Yu, the moss and bryophyta collection manager, make a log of the plants they collected from Jin Shui forest earlier that day, at their campsite in Pingtung, Taiwan, September 10, 2020. "We hope that these species have a chance to return to their original habitat. Or one day, when we wish to create a (new) habitat, these species are able to live there happily," said Ken Yu.
