Why "shocking!"?

How do you want to accomplish this?
>Extinction or publication?
I do not know of any cp species which was extinguished by publication but I
do know of several cases in which too *little* public awareness resulted in
uncontrolled habitat destruction and eventually extinction (the most
prominent example being _Nepenthes campanulata_, _Utricularia bremii_ seems
to be dying more quietly).
Science or secrets?
I am rather puzzled by your message.
Kind regards
