EXPERTS in orchidology and botany are looking into planting more flora species at the Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin Orchid Conservatory in Fraser’s Hill as part of conservation and research efforts.

Prof Dr Rusea Go from Universiti Putra Malaysia, who led a group of 60 researchers in the first Royal Biodiversity Scientific expedition to Fraser’s Hill last month, said there were plans to build a dome-like cover over the existing site.
