YEREVAN, OCTOBER 20, ARMENPRESS: Executive Director of the Global
Environment Facility (GEF) Monique Barbut visited today Khosrov Forest
State Reserve. On October 19, she paid a visit to Sevan National Park.
Monique Barbut noted today at a meeting with journalists that according
to her impressions concerning the lake, balance must be kept between
two types of issues - between today's needs and future issues.
"Work carried out toward preservation of any sort of animal requires
preservation of environment," she said.
During the October 19 meeting of Armenian Nature Protection Minister
Aram Harutyunyan with Mrs. Barbut the up-to-date environment issues
Armenia faces, the investment programs of the GEF and their results
were summed up. On the same day a meeting was held with members of
the international agencies which implement programs in Armenia by
the funding of the GEF - World Bank, UNDP, UNIDO, and commission on
cooperation with the GEF.
The proposals to be involved in the GEF were discussed, which
mainly concerned preservation of biodiversity, climate change and
management of wastes. Environment programs of 21.9 million USD have
been implemented in Armenia by the GEF till 2005. In the 4th round of
cooperation with the GEF a number of national and regional programs
have been implemented and some are in process in Armenia.
