Methodology will be validated in the project that will allow to identify a number of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the degraded peatlands in Latvia and recommendations will be developed as the decision support tool for a sustainable management of the degraded peatlands, balancing renewing of biodiversity, economic potential and&nbsp; reduction of GHG emissions, mitigation of negative climate changes in the long term. One of the tasks of the project is to create a list and a database of the degraded peatlands, to develop an optimization model of the use of the degraded peatland areas, as well as to provide support to policy makers.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt\">\n\t<span style=\"font-family: brandon-grotesque, serif;\">Project implementation: year 2015 &#8211; 2019<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:15.0pt\">\n\t<b><span style=\"font-size:13.5pt;font-family:\n\"brandon-grotesque\",serif;color:#5F7470\">Contact information:<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-family: brandon-grotesque, serif;\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n\tProject Manager: Ieva Saleniece<\/div>\n<div>\n\tE-mail: <em><u>ieva.saleniece@daba.gov.lv<\/u><\/em><\/div>\n<div>\n\tPhone: +371 20142828<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tProject Coordinator: Ieva Bukovska<\/div>\n<div>\n\tE-mail: <em><u>ieva.bukovska@daba.gov.lv<\/u><\/em><\/div>\n<div>\n\tPhone: +371 20333119<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tPR Specialist: Anda Z\u0101lmane<\/div>\n<div>\n\tE-mail: <em><u>anda.zalmane@daba.gov.lv&nbsp;<\/u><\/em><\/div>\n<div>\n\tPhone: +371 26539348<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tFinancial Manager: Santa Mince<\/div>\n<div>\n\tE-mail: <em><u>santa.mince@daba.gov.lv<\/u><\/em><\/div>\n<div>\n\tPhone: +371 29189834&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:15.0pt\">\n\t<span style=\"font-family: brandon-grotesque, serif;\">www.daba.gov.lv<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mires, taking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and producing large amounts of organic material, are a huge carbon storage.
