Volker Bernd Heinrich is a German naturalist.
He studied horticultural sciences at the Technical University of Munich.
Heinrich has settled in the Philippines with his wife and family and operates the largest dedicated carnivorous plant nursery of the Philippines - the Pitcher Plant Farm.
His interest in Nepenthes and his knowledge of possible pitcher plant sites have made him a regular member of expeditions in the country in recent years.
He is the co-discoverer and co-describer of several new Nepenthes species, including N. attenboroughii,[1] N. hamiguitanensis,[2] and N. micramphora.
