    EXPORTATION OF RED BOOK BIRDS FROM ARMENIA RUNS COUNTER TO CONVENTION ON BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY

    Exportation of Red Book birds from Armenia runs counter to Convention
    on Biological Diversity, Head of the Center for Bird Lovers NGO Silva
    Adamyan said at a press conference on April 3.

    Adamyan said that the birds registered in the Red Book have become
    a real sweet spot for those wishing to earn big money. For instance,
    a peregrine costs 50 thsd EUR abroad. At the same time, one can find
    peregrines in Armenia more and more rarely.

    According to the expert, the birds are exported through the
    Armenian-Iranian border for further sale. "This causes some questions,
    because the customs office should suppress the attempts of exportation
    of the birds registered in the Red Book", Adamyan said.

    The pet market in Zeytun, Yerevan, also causes some questions. "Here
    one can see people selling rare species of birds. We applied to
    the Ministry of Nature Protection, however, the problem is still
    unresolved", she said.
