Latvia is one of the greenest countries in Europe, as it invests significant funds in preserving biodiversity and remunerating environmental workers. However, all the seemingly large sums of money invested in environmental projects to date can now safely be compared to pocket change. The most expensive environmental project in the history of Latvia has been launched, with a planned budget of almost 144 million euros!

This is such a large amount of money that many employees from the Nature Conservation Agency and a few from the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development have already moved to work on the project.
