There are several societies around the globe where enthusiasts of carnivorous plants joined together to share their experiences with carnivorous plants. Often there exists a society newsletter with articles about different species, field trips or local activities.

In Germany the Gesellschaft für Fleischfressende Pflanzen (G.F.P.) is a carnivorous plant society founded in 1984 by a group of CP growers. Today there are more than 800 members not only from German speaking countries. 2 to 3 times a year a society's newsletter is published under the name "Das Taublatt". There is an annual meeting of the society members with a plant sale.
