Supreme Being United Nations Development Programme Country: Azerbaijan PROJECT DOCUMENT Increasing representation of effectively managed marine ecosystems in the Project Title: protected area system (Azerbaijan) Outcome 1: Economic Development UNDAF Outcome(s): By 2015, non-oil development policies resultOutcome in better economic status, decent work opportunities and a healthier environment in all regions and across all social groups UNDP Strategic Plan Environment and Sustainable Development Primary Outcome: Outcome 1.3 Relevant national strategies, policies, and capacities strengthened to address environmental degradation, promote the green economy, and reduce vulnerability to climate change. UNDP Strategic Plan Secondary Outcome: Outcome 1.3.8 Management of Protected Areas including marine ecosystems is improved. Executing Entity/Implementing Partner: Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources (MENR) Programme Period: 2011-2015 Total budget USD 7,782,569 Atlas Award ID: 00072166 GEF USD 1,291,500 Project ID: 00085349 Government USD 6,341,069 PIMS # 4327 UNDP USD 150,000 Start date: 1 July 2014 End Date 30 June 2018 Management Arrangements NIM PAC Meeting Date 30 August 2013 Agreed by (Government): Date/Month/Year Agreed by (Executing Entity/Implementing Partner): Date/Month/Year Agreed by (UNDP): Date/Month/Year PRODOC Brief Description The Government of Azerbaijan has established a network of six protected areas (3 National Parks, 2 State Nature Reserves and 2 State Nature Sanctuaries) located within the coastal zone of the Caspian Sea, covering an area of 175,575ha. A lack of adequate investment in sustaining a professional staff complement; modernizing the planning and management systems; and developing and maintaining infrastructure and equipment in these coastal and marine protected areas is however compromising the Government’s capacity to effectively secure the conservation values of these protected areas. The largest of these marine and coastal protected areas - the Gizil-Agaj State Nature Reserve (88,360 ha) and adjacent Lesser Gizil-Agaj State Nature Sanctuary (10,700 ha) - is considered one of the most important wetlands for wintering and breeding waterbirds in the Western Palearctic and thus forms the spatial focus for project interventions. The project has been organised into two components and will be implemented over a period of four years. The first component of the project is focused on improving the management capacity of Gizil-Agaj to address the external threats to, and pressures on, the conservation values of the reserve complex, including inter alia: pressures from building/agricultural encroachments; environmental impacts of livestock grazing/browsing; effects of illegal bird hunting; threats from inflows of pollutants; and effects of illegal fishing activities. The outputs under this component will be specifically directed towards: (i) the expansion and consolidation of the Gizil-Agaj State Nature Reserve, the Lesser Gizil-Agaj State Nature Sanctuary and other adjacent unprotected areas of high biodiversity (and/or strategic) significance into a single new national park; (ii) the preparation of an integrated management plan for the newly established national park; (iii) demarcation of the boundary of, and renovation/construction of access control infrastructure in, the national park; and (iv) the procurement of critical equipment for improving the enforcement and compliance capacities of the national park staff. The second component of the project is focused on: (i) creating the enabling conditions for increasing, diversifying and stabilising the financial flows to all coastal and marine protected areas; and (ii) developing and implementing a long term monitoring system to ensure that the integrity of ecosystems are not pushed over critical thresholds in the commercialisation of, and natural resource use in, marine and coastal protected areas. The outputs under this component will be specifically directed towards: (i) the preparation of a sustainable financing plan for the network of coastal and marine protected areas; (ii) strengthening the capacities of the Department of Protection of Biodiversity and Development of Specially Protected Nature Areas to pilot priority activities identified in the financing plan; and (iii) the design and implementation of a long-term monitoring system to track the health of ecosystems in coastal and marine protected areas. The total costs of investment in the project is estimated at US$7,782,569, of which US$1,291,500 constitutes grant funding from GEF and US$6,491,069 comprises co-financing (MENR and UNDP).

    The RELICT HOMINOID INQUIRY 6:33-170 (2017) Book Section Reprint THE STRUGGLE FOR TROGLODYTES1 Boris Porshnev "I have no doubt that some fact may appear fantastic and incredible to many of my readers. For example, did anyone believe in the existence of Ethiopians before seeing any? Isn't anything seen for the first time astounding? How many things are thought possible only after they have been achieved?" (Pliny, Natural History of Animals, Vol. VII, 1) INTRODUCTION BERNARD HEUVELMANS Doctor in Zoological Sciences How did I come to study animals, and from the study of animals known to science, how did I go on to that of still undiscovered animals, and finally, more specifically to that of unknown humans? It's a long story. For me, everything started a long time ago, so long ago that I couldn't say exactly when. Of course it happened gradually. Actually – I have said this often – one is born a zoologist, one does not become one. However, for the discipline to which I finally ended up fully devoting myself, it's different: one becomes a cryptozoologist. Let's specify right now that while Cryptozoology is, etymologically, "the science of hidden animals", it is in practice the study and research of animal species whose existence, for lack of a specimen or of sufficient anatomical fragments, has not been officially recognized. I should clarify what I mean when I say "one is born a zoologist. Such a congenital vocation would imply some genetic process, such as that which leads to a lineage of musicians or mathematicians.

    Workshop “ Capacity Building in Sharing Forest and Market Information” 24 – 28 October 2005, Prague and Křtiny, Czech Republic Country statement Azerbaijan ­ Forest Resources Assessment for Sustainable Forest Management ­ Mr. SADIG SALMANOV Main Specialist Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources Baghramyan 3 AM ­ 375002 Jerevan Azerbaijan Evaluation of Inexhaustible Forest Resources Management in Azerbaijan a) Brief review on forest resources Azerbaijan has got 1 214 000 km 2 of forest lands, which makes 11,4 % of its whole area. Among these 1 000 035 ha are proper forests and 989 000 ha are covered with forests but of irregular consistency. The forests are distributed as follows: Grand Caucasus ­ 49%; Small Caucasus – 34%; Talish Mountains – 15%; Lowlands – 2%. The forests are an integral part of the ecosystem of Azerbaijan. They are generally related to the 1s t group. However, they play a significant role not only in climate forming processes, prevention of desertification, decrease of natural diversity, and greenhouse effect, but also help solve social, economic and cultural problems. Due to territorial heterogeneity and complicated landscape, trees and shrubs can grow as high as 2000­2200 metres above the sea level. It also accounts for the great diversity of plant life. 435 wood and shrubs species grow in our republic, of which 107 wood and 288 shrub species are wide­spread and cover large areas. Eastern beech (Fagus orientalis) plays an important role in forming of forest stands. It can be met on 32% of the forest land. Oak (Quercus) is a frequent tree species in both hilly and plain regions and occupies 31,5% of the forest area.

    STATE PROGRAMME ON POVERTY REDUCTION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 2003-2005 AZERBAIJAN PROGRESSES TOWARD THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS PROGRESS REPORT – 2003/2004 BAKU – 2005 DECREE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN on Approval of the State Programme on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development in the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2003-2005 The consistent reform program carried out in the Republic of Azerbaijan in recent years has helped to ensure economic development, gradual improvement of macroeconomic performance and improvement of the living standards in the country. Thus, in the period 1996-2002, Gross Domestic Product increased by 1.7 times, capital investment increased by 7.8 times, nominal monetary income of population increased by 3 times and average monthly wages and pensions increased by 5 times. There are improvements in other economic performance indicators. However, these ongoing efforts and achievements have not yet led to a sufficiently high level of economic development and the living standards of the population have still not reached international standards: part of population is still unemployed, minimum wages are not sufficient to meet the minimum subsistence level and a number of factors causing poverty have not been eliminated. In order to further strengthen social protection of the population for the near future, ensure poverty reduction in the country and implement necessary measures to meet the commitments of the 2000 United Nations Millennium Summit, I hereby decree: 1. The “State Program on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development in the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2003-2005” shall be approved. 2. The Ministry of Economic Development of the Republic of Azerbaijan shall be responsible for coordinating the implementation of measures set out in the State Program.
