This May 5, 2021 is the first world day dedicated to carnivorous plants. On this occasion, a number of events are organized online. Here is a translation of the original page of the International Carnivorous Plant Society | ICPS article: https: //www.carnivorousplants.org/about/WCPD
ICPS is proud to promote the first ever World Carnivorous Plant Day, which will be held every first Wednesday in May (May 5 in 2021). In lieu of the international conference in Himeji, Japan, World Carnivorous Plant Day 2021 will be the central carnivorous plant event of the year. This one-day web event will replace the postponed ICPS conference in 2022.
The idea of a World Carnivorous Plants Day was first brought to the attention of the ICPS Board of Directors in 2020 by Krzysztof Banaś of Poland. Krzysztof envisioned a day that would put carnivorous plants in the spotlight in order to raise awareness and educate the public.

Krzysztof Banaś explains his approach in a video where other no less famous collectors explain their love of these incredible plants:
Happy World Carnivorous Plant Day to all!
