In total, 224 bird species are observed in the area, 185 of which are also nested. In addition, a number of world-threatened bird species are present in the wetlands – Kikuts, cutter, sea eagle, fish eagle.
The Luban wetlands with protected river pallets, wilderness, swamps and boreal forests, park grassland etc. habitats are located in Rezekne, Award, Madona, Rugar, Vilnius, Varakalana, Luban and Gulbenes. Currently, the wetlands combine 12 existing natural reserve areas, including the addition of Luban lakes and biologically valuable lakes. And the Territorial Administration has been implemented by the Regional Administration of Latgale since 2011.
