The project is based on the nature protection plan for the nature park of Lake Engure for1998-1999, developed within the joint project of the SEPA (Swedish Environmental Protection Agency) and the LFN (Latvian Fund for Nature). The main objective of the project was to preserve and protect the values of Lake Engure and to contribute to the development of the region. Within the framework of the project, the situation of the coastal areas was improved, by providing suitable nesting sites for waterfowl. Cows and horses are acquired which graze in the meadows of the bank of Lake Engure. The project has a website, as well as other public outreach measures are taken that have ensured an increase in the number of tourists to the nature park of Lake Engure.
