CAMERON HIGHLANDS: The Society of Regional Environmental Awareness of Cameron Highlands (Reach) is hopeful that the Lady’s Slipper Orchid – thought to be extinct here – can be replanted in a new site within the next three years if all goes well with its pilot orchid replanting project here. 

Reach vice-president Embi Abdullah said the pilot project located in a 25-square-metre plot of land at a forest reserve in the Cameron Highlands district was showing good progress with only two plants out of the 20 seedlings that were planted in January dying.
