The ICPS World Conference in Tokyo 2002 - Part 1 Video

In 2002 the ICPS (International Carnivorous Plant Society) World Conference took place at the National Science Museum in Tokyo, Japan, providing excellent lectures on carnivorous plants (CP) by numerous famous CP-experts.

We agreed without hesitation and are now happy to upload several excerpts of that video to YouTube.
