Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets (FPWC) Conference
On 15-17 October, 2011 the Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets (FPWC) organized the conference “The Role of Civic Societies and Private Sector in the Preservation of Wildlife in South Caucasus” in the scope of SunChild 3rd International Environmental Festival. The participant NGOs had an opportunity to come up with project proposals aimed at biodiversity and wildlife preservation. We are glad that the project “Endangered Herbs in Armenia: Identification, Protection and Sustainable Harvesting” proposed by Green Lane was the one that won! The grant is provided by FPWC, World Land Trust and VivaCell-MTS telecom. The goal of the abovementioned project is to transfer knowledge regarding Armenia’s diverse and useful plant species, their uses, and the extinction threats they face because of improper treatment and usage. The initiative is targeted for students - age 14 and up. We think that environmental education is very significant for the young generation, as they can discover the existing environmental issues in their communities, as well as try to give solutions to them. And, most importantly, they will share the obtained knowledge with their friends, family members and the community population.
New Regional Project:Sustainable Land Management for Mitigating Land Degradation and Reducing Poverty in the South Caucasus Region
In April 2009, the Regional Environmental Centre for the Caucasus (REC Caucasus)
in partnership with Caucasus Environmental NGO Network (CENN, Georgia) has
launched a regional initiative - Sustainable Land Management for Mitigating Land Degradation and Reducing Poverty in the South Caucasus Region.
The project will be implemented in the South Caucasus region - Khrami-Debeda and Alazani-Iori watersheds. “Green Lane” Agricultural Assistance NGO is
taking part in the project as an associated partner in Armenia, and RUZGAR NGO is involved in the project as an associated partner in Azerbaijan.
The project is financially supported by the European Union (EU).
The objectives of the Project are:
- Strengthening policy, planning and regulatory environments for promotion of sustainable land management (SLM) in transboundary watersheds of the South Caucasus region via development and endorsement of bilateral watershed SLM Action Plans; and
- Demonstrating benefits of watershed based sustainable land management and alternative livelihood for rural people while protecting fragile ecosystems and disseminating lessons learned and best practices.
