  • ALTER Team Conducts First Site Visits in Armenia
    ALTER Team Conducts First Site Visits in Armenia July 13, 2018 ALTER Team members gathered in Yerevan, Armenia from June 18th to 22nd to meet with in country stakeholders and visit the three project target areas. The team first traveled to the southern Armenian region of Syunik to visit the cities of Kapan and Kajaran located in Project Area 3. They met with private sector partners Zangezur Copper and Molybdenum Combine CJSC and Polymetal International PLC to introduce the project and discuss collaboration with the project for the tailing management facilities and water reservoir associated with the companies’ mining activities in the area. The team also had the opportunity to visit the Syunik Regional Rescue Service Department, Crisis Management Centre of the RA Ministry of Emergency Situations located in Kapan and gained insight on the existing response system and its connections with regional and local self-governing bodies. As a part of the visit, the briefly visited the Geghi reservoir and Artsvanik tailing management facility. From Kapan, the team travelled to Project Area 2 which covers the Vorotan Cascade hydroelectric infrastructure. Productive meetings were held with Mr. Arthur Sargsyan, the Head of Sisian Community, as well as with local administrative leaders of the project target villages - Vorotnavan, Uyts and Shaghat. The meetings showed that local leaders are interested in collaboration, but that risk reduction activities have been limited to this point due to a lack of finances. As a part of the site visit, the team also inspected the safety equipment associated with the Spandaryan reservoir and found that much of the equipment was in need of update.

Boasting high species richness and levels of endemism, among other exceptional characteristics, this mountainous region between the Black and Caspian Seas is globally important for biodiversity conservation. In the upcoming section of this thirty-ninth issue of Russian Conservation News, we spotlight one of the countries at the heart of this special region: Armenia. The following pages of the journal offer a rounded conservation profile of the country, including descrip- tions of its varied landscapes and rich biodiversity. Although the pres- ent Armenian state is no larger than Russia’s Lake Baikal, its landscapes are remarkably diverse, including semi-desert, juniper sparse forest, broadleaf forest, mountain steppe, and sub-alpine meadow habitats. These habitats harbor many rare species, such as the Persian leopard, which stealthily prowls Armenia’s southern regions. In this section, you will read about the research work of A view from Armenia’s highest peak, Mt. Aragats. two dedicated Armenian scientists to Photo by C.
