The short film series \u201cNature Alert: Invasive Species Are Taking Over Latvia\u201d introduces six invasive species that pose a threat to Latvia\u2019s biodiversity. In the short films, scientists and nature experts also present the most effective methods for controlling these species. Learn more about invasive species and their distribution in Latvia at www.invazivs.lv<\/a><\/p>

The short film series was produced within the EU LIFE Programme project LIFE-IP LatViaNature, implemented by the Nature Conservation Agency of Latvia, in cooperation with the agency WKND. More information: latvianature.daba.gov.lv<\/p>
