    >From April 1 to 15 in Dilijan, Armenia, the First Regional Environmental
    Festival Sun Child will take place. The festival is organized by the
    Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets in the
    Republic of Armenia (FPWC) and Sun Child NGO.

    In the framework of the festival, besides competitive film screenings
    and photo exhibitions a number of environmental activities are planned
    - tours, tree planting, scavenging. Discussions on such actual problems
    as development of eco-tourism in the region, integration of the region
    in international environmental communities and exchange of local and
    international experience will be held by the experts, leading
    ecologists, environmentalists and eco-journalists invited from the
    regional countries and all over the world.

    Sun Child enjoys the slogan For Children with Children's Active
    Participation. The festival puts a special emphasis on the youth and
    children participation as the new generation of the region constitutes
    a strong whole able to overstep boundaries and we aim to create a new
    field for their dialogues and mutual collaboration.

    Our region faces a number of serious ecological problems. The most
    urgent issues are depletion of natural resources, mass extinction of
    valuable species, pollution of the environment which, among other
    evils, endanger human health. The latest statistical data show an
    ominous increase of respiratory diseases, especially among the
    children.

    The situation is alarming and jeopardizes the welfare of the present and
    coming generations.
    The idea of having a regional festival has arisen due to the fact that
    most ecological problems have regional aspect. Nature recognizes no
    borders and only friendly cooperation, joint efforts and conscious
    struggle will make its conservation possible and eliminate the threat.

    Sun Child is another attempt to raise awareness of the existing menace
    and an earnest appeal for collaboration.
