    YEREVAN, AUGUST 26, ARMENPRESS: The government of Armenia has released
    31 million Drams for the nature protection ministry to prepare the
    updated version of the Armenian Red Book.

    The two-volume edition is about Armenia's fauna. It will be released
    by the end of the year.

    Tatiana Danielian, head of a ministry department dealing with
    bio-diversity and water resources protection issues, told Armenpress
    that about 40 specialists of the ministry in cooperation with
    colleagues from the Biology and Zoology Institute of the National
    Academy of Sciences are doing field researches in Lori, Vayots Dzor,
    Tavush, Gegharkunik and Kotayk provinces to learn the condition of
    species which are on the brink of extinction and design moves to
    ensure their protection and reproduction.

    She said as a result of studies the scientists defined a list of 200
    species of plants and 10 species of animals to be included in the
    Book for the first time.

    Tatiana Danielian said also the council of scientists has decided to
    organize an effective supervision over the species which are on the
    brink of extinction, which she said is mainly due to social-economic
    changes which affect bio-diversity.
