Teici and Pelecare are two natural and unmodified raised and transitional bogs, which are connected to each other and enclosed by forests. The Teici bog is one of the largest in the Baltic Region. The Site is important for the maintenance of bog-specific and rare bird species, as well as of characteristic wetland plant species and communities. It is a significant feeding and resting site for migrating waterfowl. The wetland stabilizes the regional climatic features and water discharge in rivers, preventing seasonal floods and decreasing groundwater levels during the dry season. Additionally, the Teici and Pelecare bogs are of high scientific and educational value.
