Mr. Christian BRECKPOT <Chris.Breckpot@olvz-aalst.be> Since 1993, he has been studying recent European and world spread of Aldrovanda, its outdoor and in-vitro cultivation, and has been photographing Aldrovanda and its habitats. He has gone to great efforts to make Aldrovanda more popular among CP growers.

Dr. Ryszard KAMIŃSKI <kaminskr@biol.uni.wroc.pl> Studied the historical and recent spread of Aldrovanda in Poland, ecological conditions at its sites, and ecophysiological processes in Aldrovanda plants and turions. During the 1990s, he successfully (re)introduced Aldrovanda to suitable habitats in Poland. He has been growing Aldrovanda in the Botanical Garden of the Wroclaw University in Poland.

Prof. Dr. Katsuhiko KONDO <kkondo@hiroshima-u.ac.jp> He has been keeping an outdoor and in-vitro collection of Aldrovanda plants from world populations in his Laboratory for Plant Chromosome and Gene Stock of the Hiroshima University, Japan.  During the mid 1990s, he prepared the first in-vitro cultures of Aldrovanda for study and conservation purposes. He has also been studying chromosomes of Aldrovanda and other CP.

Mr. Kamil PÁSEK <csper@volny.cz> Studied the recent spread of Aldrovanda in Poland. He has been dealing with preparation of in-vitro culture of Aldrovanda and optimization of its growing. He is an owner of the great carnivorous plant nursery BestCarnivorousPlants (www.BestCarnivorousPlants.com).

Rakov.jpg: Mr. Viktor Rakov from Kiev, Ukraine, at an Aldrovanda site in Tolokunj at Kiev reservoir, summer 1997.

Mr. Viktor RAKOV <goam@eco31.freenet.kiev.ua> He has been searching for sites of Aldrovanda and other CPs in the Kiev region in Ukraine. He described several new Aldrovanda sites in the Kiev reservoir.

Tassara.jpg: Mr. Filippo Tassara from Genoa, Italy, 2000.

Mr. Filippo TASSARA <strega@split.it> He has been searching for any remaining Aldrovanda populations in Italy. On behalf of the Italian CP Society, he has initiated a Aldrovanda re-introduction project in Italy and conservation of other endangered CP species in Italy.
