An agreement was signed today between A. Harutyunyan, the RoA Minister of Nature Protection, and David Morrison, Executive Director of the Caucasus Protected Areas Fund. The agreement will pave the way for the transfer of 282,045 Euros to Armenia, earmarked for maintaining and expanding specially protected lands in the country. The decision to provide the assistance was first proposed by the Fund’s Board of Directors last October to support the Khosrov Forest National Reserve in Armenia. The Fund plans to work with the Armenian government to yearly increase lands in the country's protected areas.
