Forests NGO and the Armenia Tree project will present the film "From
Need to Greed" at 18:30 in the small auditorium of the American
University of Armenia. The film will address the issue of illegal
logging in Armenia.
This is the fourth in a series of environmental films produced by Vem
Media Arts in Yerevan to be released. The 20-minute documentary film
on illegal logging and the deforestation of Armenia, titled "From Need
to Greed," was funded by Armenia Tree Project, Armenian Forests NGO,
and the World Wildlife Fund Caucasus Office.
Produced by Manuk Hergnyan of Vem and written by Inga Zarafyan, the
documentary explains that forests provide food, shelter, clothing, and
fuel for people, but over time humans have started to destroy this
vital lifeline. According to historical data, forests covered 20
percent of Armenia at the turn of the 20th century, but by the early
1990s this area was reduced to 11 percent and is now below 10 percent.
