I once told my team (expedition team): We are not saving nature by conducting an expedition, but at least we learn what is left there to tell our next generation, no need to expose the treasure we found in the forest to protect them from exploitation.

If you find a tiger sign, don't share it with other people. If you find a peacock, keep it to yourself, because they hide from the world so they are safe and can regenerate and survive extinction. Likewise, if you find a rare plant, you don't need to share it, because it will make them look for a way to get it.

Once when a high-ranking government official at the district level asked about the whereabouts of black orchids, I said that there couldn't be black orchids in this area. Even though I found it a few days ago, and know where it is.

For me, if you want to protect nature, then never touch it. If you come with me then be prepared to resist all temptations to have things you shouldn't have, just make enough of them as study material and stories and photo evidence that you will show to your children and grandchildren in the future.

We will be able to tell if there ever were these "things" to them.
