Inventory and evaluation of the protected mires was carried out in 1995-1996. The study of mire vegetation was continued in 1997. On the basis of these studies the list of the studied mire communities was developed. The most valuable peatlands of Latvia were identified, as well as those which are of international importance and meet Ramsar Convention criteria. Six areas including mires of international importance were distinguished. The value of the studied mires was detected and their conservation status evaluated. More than 160 mires were studied throughout Latvia in all the geobotanical regions. The mire inventory is carried out as a combination of the field survey, study of cartographic data and aerial photos, and the existing information about the protected bogs and fens in Latvia.
