The habitat of Begonia baik is destroyed by bulldozer.

Rescue operation to save & propagate the remaining Begonia baik as the one & only habitat (that I known so far) has been destroyed by the bulldozer for clearing the bushes as vegetation is overgrown & too near to the road.


This Begonia baik will die if i didn't see it and replanting it back to the slope.
