Hello,

I am doing a science project on the Venus Fly Trap for my Biology class. Could you please tell me the reasons why this carniverous plant is endangered, what is currently being done to save it, and what needs to be done in the future so save this wonderful plant.

Dear Pete,

The plants are endangered in the wild because of field collection.
