The abovementioned initiatives aim to preserve the area's special
ecosystem and biodiversity and to promote ecotourism.
"Our cooperation is aimed at environmental protection and tourism
development in Tatev region. One of the main goals of "Tatev
Revival" project carried out by IDeA Foundation is to make the region
attractive in terms of tourism, which in its turn, will promote the
social-economic development of the adjacent communities. We have
all necessary prerequisites for it - medieval monastic complex,
aerial tramway, rich nature and unique ecosystem the conservation
of which is also important in terms of ecotourism development. I am
convinced our joint efforts will help us realize all projects aimed
at the development of this region", said Head of IDeA Foundation

as the unique ecosystem and biodiversity of Tatev will be preserved,
and adjacent communities will have broader opportunities to improve
their livelihood", said WWF Armenia Director Karen Manvelyan.
