Hi all,

It was a bad news when my friend from Zoo, Herman informed me that Crypt minima habitat is going destroy soon by developer. It is too near to the fast developed Damansara new township.

I hope all the people there can save that last patch of rainforest which is so near to the concrete city. There are so many beautiful flora & fauna over there!!!

More news from The star (April 17,2007); "STANDING knee-deep in water, a small group of Zoo Negara staff pulls up plants from a freshwater lake found in the Sungai Buloh Forest Reserve in Selangor. The intermittent roar of a bulldozer and sounds of crashing trees pierce the silence.

The team is salvaging the recently discovered Cryptocoryne minima – a rare aquatic plant that is much loved by the aquarium trade – as it becomes clear that the pond will be destroyed soon. "

Hope the Zoo Negara staff can save as much as possible and maybe transfer them to others place.
