The International Carnivorous Plant Society (ICPS) is a non-profit organization founded in 1972.

[2] The ICPS publishes a quarterly publication, the Carnivorous Plant Newsletter.

The ICPS has set up the Nepenthes clipeata Survival Project (NcSP) to facilitate ex situ conservation of this species.

[4] It is estimated that there are only three or four genetically-distinct lines of "white market" (legally collected) plants in cultivation.

[3] The ICPS partially funded the establishment of The Rare Nepenthes Collection, which aims to conserve four of the rarest Nepenthes species: N. aristolochioides, N. clipeata, N. khasiana, and N. rigidifolia.
