Sorry for being off-topic but on the news tonight
was a story about the sale of Wollemi Pines in Sydney today. Almost one million
dollars was raised with the sale of these pines. The story stated that the pines
were grown from cuttings which were obtained from Wollemi National Park, so I
wonder does this mean one could take cuttings or seeds from other rare plants
from National Parks to grow and sell them. In fact why stop there, why not
take a few birds eggs and hatch them, they could then be sold. I know I am being
a bit silly now, but when is it right to take something out of a National Park
and then sell it for a profit?? regards
