[b]Endangered carnivorous plants are being reintroduced to parts of England in an attempt to reverse their decline.[/b]
Botanists say the "fascinating and beautiful" great sundew is extinct in many areas, due to loss of wetlands.
With tentacles that trap and digest insects, the plant is one of a dozen or so meat-eating plants native to the UK.

These are really fascinating plant, Although their reintroduction may cause entropy in the already assimilated ecosystems.

What concerns me even more is the fact that the plant was driven almost near to extinction by human activities. With the way the world has fast revolutionised and continues to do so without a tip of the hat in the direction of the well-being of the Earth, more and more species of organisms will continue to go extinct. However now that almost everyone is aware of the damage the planet is taking, hopefully there will be great changes in order to save the health. Wishing the Sundews a quick recovery!

What concerns me the most is how this plant will affect the ecosystem, mostly the food chain when it's population grows, if they start eating insects/bugs even though we don't desire those insects/bugs it will cause a ripple effect of food shortages, as well as competition as a result and some species, have to lose/starve some of their population in the UK. ether way this scenario is a lose-lose, other species might end up extinct.

yes, it sad that humans have caused this plant to nearly being extinct but it's not the first or the last if we don't take responsibility for our carelessness of other species around us, earth has lost so many other species that is sad to think that we contributed to that. other will have different beliefs then us saying its natural selection or any other BS to undermind the truth, at the end of it all we as a collective have to change to preserve the remaining life on this planet and this is a good start.
