On September 29th, the annual Researchers' Night was held, featuring a range of interactive activities and lectures, including contributions from the LIFE for Species project team. The event, held at the LU Academic Center's Nature House, welcomed visitors to engage in Valdis Pilāts' informative lectures about animals listed in the Red Book, among other engaging activities.

Participants had the exclusive chance to explore Latvia's first Red Book and gain insights into species protection within the country, as well as the development process of the new Red Book.

Moreover, attendees had the opportunity to test their understanding of species protection in Latvia by participating in the quiz: “How Much Do You Know About Rare and Endangered Species?”

Youngest nature enthusiasts were fully engaged in crafting masks of protected species, along with activities involving coloring, gluing, and puzzle solving.

A heartfelt thank you to all those who participated.
