Boosting biodiversity in wetlands

Wetlands provide a wide variety of ecosystem services, yet many farmers are keen to convert them to arable land. The team behind the LIFE MarshMeadows project are working to restore wetlands in Latvia and Lithuania, aiming to boost biodiversity by encouraging the return of different bird and amphibian species, such as Crested Newts and Great Snipes, as Laura Zvingule – LIFE MarshMeadows project manager – explains.
