Projects

WETBEING is a transdisciplinary program rooted in the biodiverse organism and troubled ecosystem of the Aukštumala raised bog, a peatland in the Nemunas river delta at the Baltic coast.

The project aims to enhance protection and preservation of nature, biodiversity and green infrastructure, including in urban areas, and reducing all forms of pollution.

Restoring the hydrological regime in drained mires and other peatlands, their sustainable use and the development of paludiculture is one of the opportunities to effectively reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculturally and industrially used peatlands, thus contributing to meeting environmental commitments.

The aim of the project is to transfer the accumulated knowledge about the climate-neutral use of peatlands and the acquired practical experience to the farmers of the Baltic countries. ​​​​

The aim of the project is to improve the ecological status of habitats of European importance in the south-western part of the Aukštumala Telmological Reserve, as well as to reduce GHG emissions from the damaged by drainage raised bog.​​​

The aim of the project is to increase the capacity of organizations involved in the restoration and maintenance of historic parks in the regions of North-Eastern Lithuania and Latgale through modern and comprehensive land management provisions combining historical, natural and biodiversity values and aspects of the rural landscape.

In Lithuania, peat quarries occupy 20 000 ha, more than half of which are abandoned. Unfortunately  restoration of cut over peatlands in Lithuania is still very slow. Based on our own and international experience of scientists and practitioners working in the field of wetland restoration, we offer not only the traditional method of reclamation of exploited peatlands.

PaluWise is an EU-funded initiative dedicated to the development of advanced solutions for the productive use of rewetted degraded peatland. Paludiculture is the productive land use of wet and rewetted peatlands. 

The project aims to enhance the conditions of forest and mire habitats of EU importance by implementing advanced measures of closer-to-nature forestry.  

​

The aim of the project is to create conditions for the restoration of the hydrological regime of the  Paąžuolynė peatland, thus reducing GHG emissions, and to maintain the favorable condition of the restored natural habitats and protected species.

Combining environmental, scientific-experimental and land user interests, it is planned to restore the hydrological regime and encourage the formation of wet meadows a habitats in the lowland peat soils (about 8 ha) in the vicinity of Baisogala town (Kemerai village).​

The aim of the project is to strengthen the capacity of Lithuanian environmental NGOs to effectively participate in the processes of implementation and application of carbon offsetting mechanisms in Lithuania.​​

The aim of the project is to create conditions for the restoration of the hydrological regime of the Tartoko wetland, thus reducing GHG emissions, and to maintain the favorable condition of the restored natural habitats and protected species.
