GAS PRICE RISE MAY CAUSE DEFORESTATION - ETHNOGRAPHER
14:37 26.07.13
The ethnographer Hranush Kharatyan, who has for two years studied
pattern of resource use in Armenia, believes that the gas price rise
increases the probability of deforestation.
At her meeting with journalists on Friday, Kharatyan noted that some
people have turned forests into sources of income, others have to
sustain their living.
"Many people will have to stop using household fuel gas after the
gas price has been raised," she said.
So it is natural that Armenia's poor population is indiscriminately
using natural resources now.
Deforestation results in desertification, Kharatyan said.
