I am interested in beginning a campaign to preserve pinguicula elongata. in the moor of "la calera" located in Bogotá, Colombia, Southamerica. a small pinguicula elongata population exists and their ecosystem is being destroyed. would the ICPS help with this initiative? somebody called Sebastian Vieira was making something for this species but pitifully I have not been able to find him.
I'll thank to everybody that help me.
greetings!
and excuse my english is poor!

Hi Julian,
Well, I'd certainly like to hear more about this situation.
The site you describe---is it on land owned by the government, a single person (or family), or a company?
How many plants are involved? Is this the only colony of plants in the area? Are there any populations of Pinguicula elongata that occur in protected parks?
Sincerely,
Barry

Hi everyone, and Barry too. Just found this topic while searching for news about P.elongata in Google. Thanks Barry for your interest.
Julecian (Julian) already contacted me about a year go. I don't think the habitat is in real danger, but it seems someone have been poaching small quantities of plants from there. I really don't know who owns the land, and have not talked with Heberlein recently. He is the one who fund this population and have been monitoring it for years.
Will check with him and report back here. And also try to find who owns the land.
Thanks every one.

Hi Utricseb,
Please keep me informed on the Pinguicula poaching situation and let me know if the ICPS can be of some assistance.
Happy Growing,
Brian Barnes, ICPS Director of Conservation.

The September issue of CPN contains an article by J. Heberleyn Hernandez-Melan. 2009. Pinguicula elongata of Colombia. CPN 38(3):83-85.
