    Total area of natural reserves comprises 11% of RA territory. 60% of
    Armenia's flora and fauna are centred in natural reserves, which is a
    satisfactory result, the head of RA Nature Protection Ministry's Bio-
    and Water Resources Department, Tatiana Danielyan stated.

    As she said at news conference timed to May 22 International Day for
    Biological Diversity, `The number of plants species in Armenia
    comprises 5 thousand, with animal species exceeding 17 thousand.
    However, they are still threatened with extinction.'

    Tatiana Danielyan emphasized the importance of legislative reforms as

    improving the situation.
