How the environmental public assesses 2014 and what are their
expectations from 2015?
EcoLur had an interview with Silva Adamyan, Chairman of "Center
for Bird Lovers" NGO, Arsen Gasparyan - Chairman of "Association
of Young Biologists" NGO and Levon Galstyan, member of Pan-Armenian
Environmental Front.
The main achievements for 2014 outlined by Silva Adamyan are as
follows:
· The unprecedented decision of Nature Protection Ministry to issue
a negative opinion to Tukhmanuk mining project,
· Reduction of time period of additional water outlets from Lake
Sevan - from 5 years to 1 year,
· Mitigation of wolf-humans conflict.
The main achievement for 2014 outlined by Arsen Gasparyan is the
appointment of a new Nature Protection Minister. In his opinion,
the primary issues are connected with mining and EIA process. "I
can bring the example of Meghrasar mine, where the mine is located
in a specially protected area of nature, but the project EIA doesn't
say anything about it. I hope in 2015 more serious approach will be
demonstrated in this regard," Arsen Gasparyan outlined.
Environmentalist Levon Gasparyan thinks the only positive event in
2014 was saving 700 million cum water from the water resources in
Ararat Valley by Nature Protection Ministry, which gives up hopes
that the balance of the artesian basin will be recovered.
