On August 31, 2018, the meeting of LIFE programme projects in Latvia took place in Ķemeri. The aim of the event was to share progress information about LIFE programme projects in Latvia and their further plans, challenges, experience, and to express up-to-date issues and problems related to the implementation of the projects of the LIFE programme.

In the second half of the event we visited one of the sites of the LIFE+ Project “Restoring the hydrological regime of Ķemeri National Park” (HYDROPLAN) where natural floodplain area of the Skudrupīte River has been restored. Large herbivores are used to keep the restored areas open, and two new sightseeing platforms have been erected to provide opportunity to observe natural processes in the restored wetlands. They attract many tourists, too.

The event was organized by LIFE support unit involved in the implementation of CAP LIFE LAT Project. This was already the third common event of LIFE Projects implemented in Latvia and this year it gathered 27 participants of active LIFE Projects in Latvia.
