Carnivorous plants growing in Slovenia

Marshy ecosystems are endangered in Slovenia the same way as in all of Europe. Raised bogs are situated in the mountain zone of Julian Alps and Pohorje and well protected. Lowland raised bogs are almost all destructed except several small areas in Central Slovenia.
Transitional bogs and fens are more endangered. They are surrounded by meadows, other agricultural land or urbanized industrial zones.
Nowadays several projects of protection of bogs of all kinds are running.

Most carnivorous plants are relatively rare and listed as threatened in "The Red List" (of endangered species of plants) by  Wraber & Skoberne, 1989.
