Other groups that are involved in such habitat conservation efforts include the International Carnivorous Plant Society, the Atlanta Botanical Garden, the Center for Plant Conservation at the Missouri Botanical Garden, the Carnivorous Plant Society.[6][7] Of these, the NASC is the only one that specializes in Sarracenia (although many other organisms benefit from the conservation of Sarracenia habitat).
