Two of the projects are primarily aimed at managing and improving legal protection of such areas at Teici (45,400 ha), Katlesi (12,000 ha) and Zvarde (10,000 ha) in order to counteract threats from e.g. drainage and forestry. Habitats that will benefit include western taiga, bog woodland and active
