YEREVAN. - The Government of Armenia decided to implement the project
of creating a new layer of forest around LakeSevan, and by way of
planting new trees in a 1,100-hectare area. The respective decision
was adopted during Thursday's Cabinet session.
The new forest will be created around the SevanNational Park and
nearby communities.
The plan, which the Nature Protection Ministry has designed, notes that
Gegharkunik Region-where this project will be carried out-is one of
Armenia's least-forest-covered regions, with a mere 3 percent forests.
This project envisions the planting of 2-3-year-old vegetable seed
trees and other types of trees and shrubs. In the case of favorable
conditions, high-value fruit-bearing forest trees are expected to be
planted as well.
Between 2014 and 2023, the funding for this program is envisioned
to be provided by charitable foundations and other international
organizations.
