Abstract
The north-east of Europe is a territory where latitudinal zonation in distribution of mires and its relation to bioclimatic zones is distinctly pronounced. From tundra to the limit of taiga, polygonal, palsa, aapa mires and raised bogs follow each other in succession. The preservation of mires depends upon the personal initiative of researchers, local administrations and the support of international opinion.
