The Landscape Recovery Foundation is asking Tasmania's native orchid photographers to balance their passion with care, warning that repeated visits to the same sites, amplified by social media, can damage plants, seedlings and the soil fungi orchids depend on. With more than 200 orchid species recorded in the state and 77 listed as threatened, the foundation has run a workshop for photographers and published guidance covering everything from staying on formed tracks to keeping rare locations off social media.
