OP VERZOEK VAN DE MILITAIRE BOSBEWAKING BIJ DE VENISSCHOENEN EN SOMMIGE ANDERE PLANTEN GEEN HERKENBARE HABITATS EN ACHTERGRONDEN I.V.M. GROOTSCHALIGE DIEFSTAL VAN DE PLANTEN !!
The difference between the rainy and wet season in parts of Thailand, Laos and Burma is becoming less clear.More often during the rainy season it stays dry for too long.
This is due to changes in the landscape by reclamation and forest fires. These changes are causing the air get drier and wet micro biotopes are disappearing. For instance, many orchids and insects die and also the rice harvest was poor in 2012.
