Nepenthes bokorensis /nɪˈpɛnθiːz ˌbɒkɒˈrɛnsɪs/ is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Cambodia. It is known from Mount Bokor (also Phnom Bokor or Bokor Hill) in the south of the country, and an as yet undetermined specimen suggests that it may also be present in other parts of the Dâmrei Mountains of Kampot Province. The specific epithet bokorensis refers to both Mount Bokor and Bokor National Park

How do you know it’s illegal?
They should be arrested by the architecture police.

Here's an idea. Why not build a big building on that spot, gather all those plants and put them in that building so tourists can come an see them .
Spoiler:
After they have paid an entrance fee . Maybe even set up a food stall in there also, along with all the other crap.

If it doesn't have concrete and neon lights the targeted tourist groups won't come

kgbagent I think you are spot on; it would be an overall ideal world if we could live side by side with nature, thing is it seems that nature (Flora and Furna) of developing countries comes only second. I wonder if the threatened wildlife and habitats are lost to today's investors, what will be tomorrow's answers.
