Braunrote Schlauchpflanze

<em>Sarracenia purpurea</em>, the common pitcher plant, is a carnivorous plant in the family Sarraceniaceae, renowned for its pitcher-shaped leaves that trap and digest insects and other small invertebrates in pools of rainwater and digestive fluids. It is native to North America, where it grows in nutrient-poor wetlands including bogs, fens, and peaty swamps, supplementing its nitrogen and mineral intake through animal prey in the absence of adequate soil nutrients. The species has also been widely introduced in Europe, with naturalised populations documented in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, and numerous other countries, where it was introduced via horticultural trade and has established in suitable peat bog habitats. <em>Sarracenia purpurea</em> hosts distinctive aquatic invertebrate and microbial communities within its pitchers, forming a miniature ecosystem. It is assessed as Not Evaluated on the IUCN Red List globally, though regional assessments exist. Biological traits such as average plant lifespan, precise trap dimensions, and detailed physiological data remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. The species is threatened by habitat drainage, peat extraction, and invasive species in parts of its range.

Habicht

Eurasian Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) is classified as Near Threatened (NT) on the IUCN Red List. Close to qualifying as threatened, with populations that may become vulnerable without conservation action.
