Protected Carbon in Latvia

Affected Areas

We do not currently have any data on protected areas affected by extraction in Latvia.

Extraction Data

We do not have any extraction data for Latvia yet.

Deposits Data

We currently do not have sufficient deposit data for Latvia to calculate potential carbon emissions of fossil fuels under protected areas. However, our data indicates that deposits from bordering countries extend into Latvia and thus some fossil fuel deposits may exist under Latvia. See the map below to explore fossil fuel deposits in Latvia.

Early Warnings

We do not currently have any data on untouched protected areas at risk of extraction in Latvia.

Profiting Companies

We do not currently have any data on companies profiting from extraction under protected areas in Latvia.
