The Lake Pape is located in the southwestern corner of Latvia, close to the Baltic Sea. After the breakup of the Soviet Union huge areas of former grassland have fallen fallow. To restore grasslands at the Lake Pape a grazing project with 18 Konik horses has been started by the Ark Foundation, the Large Herbivore Initiative and WWF Latvia in summer 1999. The article gives an insight into this project.
