The bog is one of the most interesting and diverse habitats in Latvia. To our ancestors, it was associated with mysticism and danger, but today many perceive it only as a place for peat extraction or, at best, a location for a weekend walk.
However, the bog is also capable of reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, while to a scientist, it is ready to reveal information about events from centuries ago. All this is explored in director Jānis Vingris's documentary film for TVNET, "The Heritage of the Bog".
