The main threat to orchid survival is the wholesale destruction of their natural habitat. Orchid habitat is being rapidly consumed by deforestation, agriculture, industry and development. Many orchids that once grew freely in nature have all but disappeared outside of cultivation. Orchid hobbyists and growers may be the best hope of preserving some endangered orchids.
