That is a depressing sight. I dare say that many of the paphs species will be extinct in the wild within a few decades. There seems little hope.I find that hard to believe. According to IUCN they are both on the verge of extinction in the wild. Paph rothschildianum has never been common. Even before it was collected, it was restricted to 3 or so populations around Mount Kinabalu, and even here it was only found in disturbed areas due to landslides etc where it got good light. As the canopy thickens, rothschildianum dies out. It is restricted to a very niche and limited habitat. rothshttps://www.iucnredlist.org/species/43322055/43327969dayanumhttps://www.iucnredlist.org/species/43320248/43327819
