Within the framework of the LIFE FOR SPECIES project (Endangered Species in Latvia: Improved Knowledge and Capacity, Information Flow, and Understanding), from 2021 to September 2023, proposals for a new list of protected species in Latvia have been developed.

The work was carried out as part of the project's A.1 activity "Development of Criteria for National Importance Protected Species Lists."

To introduce stakeholders to the project's proposed additions to the list of protected species for vascular plants, fungi, lichen, mosses, and mushrooms, a public meeting is planned for October 12th at 10:00 AM (on the Zoom platform).

The event program is available here.

The project's proposed additions for vascular plants, fungi, lichen, mosses, and mushrooms are available [here](link titled "Species Lists for the Meeting on 12.10.2023").

Guidelines or basic principles for criteria development and category distribution for the list of protected species are available here.

To participate in the meeting, please fill out the application by October 9th here.

A link to the meeting will be sent to the email address you provide before the meeting.

We invite stakeholders to familiarize themselves with the project's proposed additions and send comments and questions by October 9th by writing to the email madara.eihe@lu.lv.
