Welcome to the EREMITA MEADOWS!

Latvia is still proud of the intact, ancient forests, natural meadows and old trees surrounded by meadows and forests, a place of shelter for countless animal and plant species. This diversity is provided by habitats, formed during decades, hundreds and thousands of years, which are unaltered or only slightly affected by human activity. It is also supported by human pursuit, knowledge and responsible action in protection of nature values.

EREMITA MEADOWS project, carried out by Institute of Systematic Biology, Daugavpils University, and financially supported by EC LIFE Nature programme, will implement measures for protection of Fennoscan- dian wooded meadows and two rare beetle species - Osmoderma eremita un Phryganophilus ruficollis. Nonetheless, we wish to achieve more - we want to explain to the society the importance of intact forests and old trees, growing individually, including the dry and fallen, in the meadows surrounded by forests. It is important for us to allow to see, to explore and to understand more clearly the unique treasures of Latvian nature.
