The model areas have been established as part of the WWF and IKEA cooperation on Forest Projects. One of the biggest land reforms in Europe´s history has quietly been taking place in former communist countries — posing big challenges for people and nature. After the state gave back much of its territory to the people over the last few years, Latvia's 160,000 new forest owners are now responsible for looking after one million hectares of forests, nearly half of Latvia's total forest estate. Most of the new forest owners however have neither a forestry background nor any natural or resource management experience. They are now faced with the challenge to learn to manage their forests. The future of Latvia's unique nature is largely in their hands and will depend on their vision — whether long-term management decisions for sustainable forestry will prevail over short-term economic gains. Within this context WWF has created model areas to demonstrate — together with experienced Latvian forest owners — how these forests can be managed in an environmentally friendly way 3 of 29 FSC International Center GmbH · Charles-de-Gaulle-Straße 5 · 53113 Bonn · Germany · T +49 (0) 228 367 66 0 · F +49 (0) 228 367 66 30 · [email protected] · www.fsc.org· FSC® F000100 Geschäftsführer | Director: Dr. Hans-Joachim Droste · Handelsregister | Commercial register: Bonn HRB12589 Forest Stewardship Council® while providing economic benefits for the owners.” Transparency International Corruption Latvia scores 53 points on the Corruption Perceptions Index 2013 on a scale from 0 (highly Country Perceptions Index corrupt) to 100 (very clean).

Coastline Reports 20 (2012), ISSN 0928-2734, ISBN 978-3-939206-05-7 S. 77 - 87 Involving Stakeholders along the Baltic Green Belt of Latvia Erik Sachtleber1 & Andra Ratkeviča2 1Institute of Geography, Kiel University 2Dabas aizsardzības pārvalde, Latvia Abstract An essential part of nature protection is involving stakeholders by communicating the need and the benefits from conserving nature. This is very often not easy to handle, the communication with important stakeholders can be disrupted and communication with these stakeholders might malfunction. In these cases a neutral mediator can influence the process and atmosphere of communication in a way that most disruptions and barriers can be overcome. The Slitere National Park is taken as an example for the processes of communication in nature protection and the impact of a neutral stakeholder in a complicated communication regime. This paper analyses the process of communication, which circumstances influenced this process, the history of the area and its stakeholders. As a result, general guidelines for strategic communication with stakeholders in nature protection are given. 1 Introduction An important part of nature conservation is to reduce the pressure of mankind on nature, for example by reducing the negative effects of stakeholders (organisations or key persons with an interest in the usage of land in a nature protection site), economic development and people’s lifestyle. This means, nature protection depends on involving stakeholders; forming alliances and agreements with those who might harm nature with their actions, although it is not their aim – for example in tourism.

    A Tour of the Suiti Cultural Space and the Livonian Cultural Space Introduction Information about both cultural spaces Suiti The Suiti is a small Catholic community living in three parishes of Northern Kurzeme – the Western part of Latvia: Alsunga municipality, Gudenieki parish and Basi village as well as Jūrkalne parish. The total area of the Suiti region is 402 km2. The region is quite remotely located. It is a 2.2 hour- drive from Riga to Alsunga and the distance is 177 km. Gudenieki is situated 184 km from the capital city and Jūrkalne - 189 km. A unique cultural space and identity has developed in the region due to the strong influence of the Catholic church and to the historic interaction of Latvian, Liv, Polish and German cultures. The total population of the territory is around 2 800 people. The synthesis of pre-Christian traditions and religious rituals has created this unique intangible cultural heritage of the Suiti community. Numerous distinct features characterise the Suiti cultural space, such as vocal drone singing performed by Suiti women, wedding traditions, colourful traditional costumes, the Suiti language, local cuisine, religious traditions, celebrations of the annual cycle, and a remarkable number of folk songs, dances and melodies recorded in this community.

Part One gives an outline of the known history of the Livonian language, the history of research into it, and of its own relations with its closest geographical neighbour, Latvian, a linguistically unrelated Indo-European language. A state of Latvian/Livonian bilingualism has existed for virtually all of the Livonians' (or Livs') recorded history, and certainly for the past two centuries. Part Two consists of a Descriptive Grammar of the present- day Livonian language as recorded in an extensive corpus provided by one speaker.

  • The Reforming of the Southern Finnic Language Area
    Karl PAJUSALU (Tartu) The reforming of the Southern Finnic language area This article focuses on recent changes in the southern group of Finnic languages. The present state of these languages, the establishment of written standards, and ways to modernise the languages are observed. The Southern Finnic group comprises Livonian, Vote, and Estonian, including South Estonian. Historically these languages share a number of common features and mutual influences. However, the destiny of these languages has been rather different over the past centuries. Standard Estonian, which evolved on the basis of the North Estonian dialects, became the state language of the Republic of Estonia. The South Es- tonian or Tartu written language fell into disuse at the end of the 19th century. Present-day Estonia is witnessing the emergence of some new regional stand- ards, especially in South Estonia. The Livonian language became extinct in Old Livonia, that is, in North Latvia, as early as the middle of the 19th century and has by now ceased to exist as an everyday language even in the coastal villages of Courland. Nevertheless, there now exists a written standard for Livonian, and modern ways to use Livonian have been created. Also, the traditional area of Vote on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland is declining, and the last bilin- gual Vote-Russian speakers are to be found only in a few villages in the Lenin- grad oblast in Russia. At the same time there are young people with Vote roots who try to use the language of their ancestors in modern situations. At present the historical diversity of the language group under discussion is severely threat- ened, although some endeavours and also possible methods for protecting and developing these small languages are to be observed nowadays.
