There is nothing special about the carnivorous nature of some plants which
makes thier conservation protocol significantly different from that of
non-carnivorous plants. Most conservation organizations are habitat-oriented
or focussed on certain (local) biogeographical regions. So I'm afraid that
you may not find a conservation program devoted specifically and exclusively
to CP. But you can certainly find programs protecting habitats which contain
CP, or devoted to CP-rich biogeographical regions such as the southeast USA.
I can only speak with first-hand experience on the Center for Plant
Conservation collections at the Desert Botanical Garden, which works
to conserve desert plants (no CP :-)
That said, here is some info on a few organizations I've heard about:
The Nature Conservancy
1815 North Lynn Street
Arlington, VA 22209
USA
(703) 841-5300
World Conservation Monitoring Center (WCMC)
219 Huntingdon Road
Cambridge CB3 ODL
United Kingdom
+44 (0) 1223 277314
info@wcmc.org.uk
-Maintains the largest combination of plant names, distributions,
and data sources of any plant conservation organization anywhere.
Center for Plant Conservation
Missouri Botanical Garden
P.O. Box 299
St. Louis, MO 63166
USA
Membership in Friends of CPC costs $35.00, comes with subscription
to the biannual newsletter Plant Conservation, plus a %15 discount on
CPC publications.
Note however that the on-line list of taxa in the CPC's National Collection
includes only two CP species: Sarracenia oreophila and S. rubra subsp.
jonesii, both maintained at the North Carolina Botanical Garden. Last I
heard, the Atlanta Botanical Garden was involved with a
conservation/reintroduction program for Sarracenia. I had originally
thought the Atlanta program was through CPC.
If you have web access, http:/www.helsinki.fi/kmus/botmenu.html
for a list of botany related URLs with many links to conservation
groups which are on-line. There are probably many more not on-line.
You may prefer hands-on participation with groups in your area, and
these may not be on-line yet.
