How would you assess your knowledge of biodiversity in forests?
The number of forests stands in Latvia are increasing, which means that biodiversity is not decreasing
Conservation legislation restricts economic growth
It would be wrong to limit timber and forestry activities to protect forest biodiversity
Forests in Latvia make too high economic contribution to limit forestry activities for the protection of certain species
Tree felling volumes in Latvia negatively affect biodiversity
Society is not worried enough about biodiversity loss
We must find ways to stop biodiversity loss
Biodiversity is indispensable for the production of goods such as food, fuel and medicines
The country should act in a way that is better for the environment, even if it is not economically viable
Nature itself can restock resources taken from it
Everyone is allowed to act of their own will in their property, regardless of its potential impact on biodiversity
There are sufficient forest areas in Latvia, so there should be no worries about deforestation
Strengthen biodiversity conservation rules
More funding needs to be allocated to conserve biodiversity in forests
More information needs to be given to the public on the role of biodiversity in forests
More research needs to be done on the environmental impact of forestry
Have you heard of the Natura 2000 network?
Monitoring in Natura 2000 areas for biodiversity assessment is a good way to keep track of biodiversity changes.
Monitoring in Natura 2000 areas is performed to assess biodiversity change. This should be followed to adapt changes necessary for nature protection legislation.
Natura 2000 promotes nature-friendly land use.
