Armenian environmentalists continue paying attention to the lack of
tough control during the hunting season, Head of WWF-Armenia Karen
Manvelyan told ArmInfo.
He said that the key targets of the poachers are large mammals ranging
from roes to bezoar goats and other rare species. "The problem of
the lack of control during the hunting season has always existed. The
thing is that our Nature Protection Inspectorate is very weak in terms
of human and technical resources. Cars are needed for patrolling
vast territories and the number of employees should be increased",
Manvelyan said.
At the same time, the expert pointed out that the number of the
recent cases of hunting against the Red Book animals is not so big
as earlier. "Now there is a more or less normal network of protected
areas where the territories are patrolled. Due to the well-organized
work, many cases of poaching have been fixed in Syunik, where there
are the Arevik, Shikahogh reserves and the Zangezour partial reserve.
We'd like to have such results in other regions of Armenia as well",
Manvelyan said.
