  • Wetlands in Armenia – Their Values and Threats and Their Contribution to Sustainable Development and Poverty Alleviation
    5th European Regional Meeting on the implementation and effectiveness of the Ramsar Convention 4-8 December 2004, Yerevan, Armenia Keynote Wetlands in Armenia – their values and threats and their contribution to sustainable development and poverty alleviation Karén Jenderedjian Standing Committee Ministry of the Nature Conservation In the imaginary “list of Ramsar records” the United Kingdom is the record holder with the highest number of Ramsar sites (159), Canada holds the largest Ramsar territories (total 13,051,501 ha), Botswana holds the largest single Ramsar site Okawango Delta System (6,864,200 ha), and Armenia’s Ramsar sites are amongst those covering the largest area of the country’s surface: one sixth (4,922 km2 of 29,743 km2). Diversity of Wetlands in Armenia The Armenian Database of Wetlands of International, National and Local Importance includes 24 inland wetland types according to the Ramsar Classification System. Of rivers only 4 are >100 km long (Arax, Debed, Hrazdan, Vorotan). Most rivers have strongly pronounced seasonal water flow fluctuations; many of them are seasonal. Few rivers form small deltas. Among the lakes and ponds with a surface >1 ha, Lake Sevan is the largest freshwater lake of the Caucasus, Asia Minor and Middle Asia regions. Lake Arpi (Shirak Marz) is the second largest lake of Armenia. Both lakes are designated in the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance. In the mountains of Geghama, Zangezur, and Aragats a large number of small lakes (<1 ha) exist, mainly fed by snowmelt. The larger lakes are fed by well-developed tributary river systems. Lake Ayghr is fed exclusively by groundwater.
