The habitat of Crypt. cordata var. zonata is also destroyed. Only a few patches of Crypt. survived in its natural habitat. I have to plant some of them on different spots just now to reduce the risk of losing all of them.

This patch of Crypt. cordata var. zonata from Seri Aman is collected & re-planting in different spots on its natural habitat & hope it can grow back to the population as it used to be as last time....it used to be covered almost the whole r

iver bed but local people used bulldozers to dig them up to deepen the river. Water plant is a natural filter & home for aquatic fauna....once destroyed, the eco-system is not balance anymore.
