16 most valuable ecosystems of floodplain meadows are included in the project from all the regions of Latvia which were not involved in other habitat management and renewal projects. All these areas are Natura 2000 sites and include significant natural values: both species (corncrake, lesser spotted eagle, greater spotted eagle, great snipe, the hermit beetle, etc.) and habitats (river floodplain meadows, the Fennoscandian wooded meadows, species-rich fallow land, etc.). The objectives of the project were to renew biologically most valuable and overgrown areas of floodplain meadows, to promote lasting management of floodplain meadows in the future and to promote public awareness of the importance of biodiversity and careful use of natural resources.
Project implementation: year 2004 – 2008
