Marcel van den Broek Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 The IUCN Carnivorous plant specialist group has started a campaign to raise money so that the conservation status of all carnivorous plant species can be assessed. This is a very large job, but an important one as these assessements form the basis of the Red list of endangered species that many governments use for their policy. The job requiers time and money and the work of many specialists. Now the IUCN-CPSG tries to raise enough money so that in the week before the 2016 ICPS conference a "Red list workshop" can be held. The aim of this workshop is to get specialist together and to assess as many species in this short time as possible. This should really make a dent in the "to do" list. Please spread the word and if possible make a donation. The campaign wil have blogs, usefull information and other news bits to accompany this fund raising effort. You can find it all here: http://support.iucnredlist.org/carnivorousplants have a look, navigate the pages and support this massive undertaking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) I only can emphasize Marcels request. It is a very important project and the German CP society will also will make a donation. I hope that some more people will support this project and that they will reach the first target. Cheers, Markus (President of the German Society G.F.P.) Edited December 3, 2015 by Markus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all give a lot of money for plants to get them in our collection, how about a little for the ones in the wild? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
