Orchid protection action refuses to dig indiscriminately and Brooks no delay

Let's first take a look at a real case in which an orchid digger was sentenced:

In April 2016, Qin, a villager in Lushi County, Sanmenxia, Henan Province, picked three "weeds" similar to orchid grass, which were seized by the local forest police and identified as Huilan, a national key protected plant. In December 2016, Qin was sentenced to 3 years in prison, suspended for 3 years, and fined 3000 yuan for the crime of illegally cutting key plants under state protection. "I want to dig back and plant at home," he said. Blooming can have a little fragrance, I don't know if it's against the law. " Qin filed an appeal to the Lushi County Court on May 10, 2018, requesting the court to retry the case and find it not guilty. On May 23, the Lushi County Court made a retrial decision that, after review, there were errors in determining the facts and applying the law. It was decided that the court would form a separate collegial panel for retrial, and the case would not stop the execution of the original judgment during the retrial period. No matter what the final outcome of this case is, it shows that orchids are so precious that there is no room for us to dig randomly, and there is always a reason for protection. I don't worry about it here!

Chinese orchid is famous for its elegant and elegant leaves, elegant fragrance, elegant fragrance, clear and refined fragrance, and is known as "gentleman in flowers" and "fragrance of kings". It has high ornamental value, medicinal value and scientific research value. it is an important part of China's flower industry and medicine industry. although it is widely planted in China, wild orchid resources are on the verge of extinction, which is related to the environment. On the other hand, it is caused by indiscriminate mining, so it is urgent to protect orchids and refuse to dig indiscriminately.

In recent years, the rapid development of the Internet and the express industry have broken down the barriers of time and space. Orchids have also broken through the restrictions of information dissemination channels and regions, and have been recognized by the broad masses of people. Coupled with the rise of e-commerce, orchids provide people with convenience in shopping. At this time, as a kind of ornamental flowers and plants, orchids are liked by more and more people, and trade frequently on the Internet. This provides a good opportunity for orchids to be picked wantonly in recent years. It has never been so crazy before, and everything is caused by huge interests.

At present, both high-priced orchids and low-priced orchids in the market are in short supply. Take Huilan as an example. Orchid dealers are already waiting at the foot of the mountain before the orchid diggers have come down from the mountain. This is not an exaggeration I wrote. It is really staged in reality, and some of them are professional grass diggers. They only pick good orchids, but ordinary orchids cannot enter their eyes. Hundreds of cheap ones come out of their hands, tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of high ones. In a lucky year, you can dig hundreds of thousands, and generally you can dig tens of thousands, which is much better than farming in rural areas. they look for it in the mountains all the year round, get up early in the morning and dusk in the dark, touch almost every hilltop with a radius of several hundred kilometers, and develop a pair of golden eyes. Orchids can be quickly identified from a few meters away. That's awesome!

Ordinary wild orchids have low price, convenient mining and low cost. most buyers do not understand orchids. They only know that orchids are fragrant, expensive and difficult to raise. Everyone is used to choosing low-cost wild orchids, which provides a way for lawbreakers to get rich. The sales of wild orchids are rising in major e-commerce platforms, and the roots of artificially cultivated orchids are not their rivals. Fortunately, it has attracted the attention of some e-commerce platforms, and now all sensitive keywords such as wild orchids and downhill orchids have been blocked, and even the most popular and most serious keywords of Huilan have been seriously reduced, and most of them have been banned. Not included, interested people can check!

This kind of diggers who sell ordinary orchids are so crazy that they have reached the point of lawlessness. Take Dahongshan, Hubei, one of the main producing areas of Huilan in China, for example, every day, more than a dozen or even dozens of people drive three-wheeled motorcycles, bring sacks, carpet search, dig when they see the orchid, dig one mountain after another, and their children and grandchildren do not stay. When they go back, they sell them online for more than 50 cents a jin, for better or worse. After-sale is also done in place, in January died to be reissued for free, this is also the Wu Mao Party, which has been widely circulated on the Internet, which has been dug up locally for many years, and it is also the rapid rise of the Internet and express industry in the past few years. While resources are seriously consumed, it also makes some people get rich, and then people around them will be jealous and find ways to imitate its business model, forming a vicious circle because of continuous excavation. Many hills here have been hollowed out, and prices have been rising steadily in recent years, from 50 cents per jin before to dozens of yuan per jin now. Fortunately, the sales of large e-commerce platforms have been blocked, and it is believed that they will gradually decline or turn to other channels. It is these people who have seriously damaged the local orchid resources, and have also attracted the attention of the relevant departments. Forest public security is much stricter than before, and they will be severely punished when they find it. It is both a curse and a blessing. I hope that the phenomenon of wild orchids will be gradually curbed and the industry of artificial cultivation of orchids is about to usher in the spring of development!

Chinese orchid has been endowed with its unique cultural connotation by history, and in May 1985, orchid was named one of the top ten famous flowers in China. Chinese people have always regarded orchid as a symbol of nobility and elegance, and juxtaposed with "plum, bamboo and chrysanthemum". Collectively known as "four gentlemen". We usually use "Lanzhang" to describe the beauty of poetry, "Lanjiao" to describe the truth of friendship, and also borrow orchids to express pure love. it is a kind of spirit, a kind of art, a kind of feelings and realm, and a culture rooted in the long history of the Chinese nation. Its character and style has become a symbol of the ideal personality of the Chinese people. All people who appreciate orchids, plant orchids, love orchids and sing orchids draw moral strength from orchids. Thus consciously shape and improve their own personality and mind, edify sentiment, and enrich the spiritual world.

Orchid culture nurtures, supports and promotes generations of people to love and raise orchids, and inherits, broadens and develops orchid culture in the process of planting orchids, Yilan, Pinlan, writing orchids, painting orchids, developing and selecting new and high-quality orchids. I appeal to everyone to protect wild orchid resources, refuse to dig indiscriminately, and discover the phenomenon of indiscriminate mining and digging, just like a report by the local forest police, starting with me, it is imperative and urgent. Those who dig indiscriminately, do not complain to me, this is the necessity of historical development, I believe you can also do it, your nature is not bad, but blinded by interests, we should focus on the overall situation, calm down to carry out artificial cultivation, and embrace the spring of orchids!

Today, I suddenly saw an orchid friend leave me a message to prevent me from writing an article about orchids. Yesterday, I happened to see an article by the China Wild Plant Conservation Association forwarded by Rao Chunrong, chairman of Liancheng Orchid, a listed Chinese orchid company, entitled "protecting wild orchids refusing to dig indiscriminately." I also think it's time to write this kind of article and make a modest contribution to Chinese orchids, so I wrote it on the spur of the moment. If you are not well prepared, I hope you will understand!
