The site is of European conservation importance because it contains an active raised bog, which is a priority habitat type under this directive.

While Ireland is clearly acting on the problem – the Minister for the Environment announced an immediate ban on turf cutting in 32 active raised bogs in 2010, and an end to turf cutting in 24 additional active raised bogs by the end of 2011 – the Commission has serious concerns about the effectiveness of the response.

Two types of peat bog – active raised bogs and active blanket bogs, are particularly at risk in Ireland.

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 raised bogs. Lesser Spotted Eagle (Aquila pomarina) for which Latvia holds around 25 % of the European population outside Russia, is the most important species to get benefit. The third project aims at improving management (via e.g. reed cutting, grazing) and conservation of a complex of 10,000 ha of meadows, fens, sand dunes, swamp woods and ...[+++]bogs in Lake Engure National Park It tackles problems with overgrowth and uncontrolled cutting.

The other project focuses on management of a complex of habitats, including coastal meadows, active raised bogs and sand dunes, at Häädemeste, south of Pärnu.

Four of the six projects are located in Scotland where they focus on the conservation of a range of priority habitat types such as active blanket and raised bogs, alluvial forests and other woodland habitats.
