    Socio-economic Tools for Integrated Conservation Planning in the
    Multi-Ethnic South Caucasus Workshop

    In 2012 our research group at Göttingen University was granted a
    small = R&D contract by German Federal Ministry of Education and
    Research for a = study with the title "Socio-economic tools for
    integrative conservation = planning in the South Caucasus". With
    partners from Georgia (International Center = for Environmental
    Research), Azerbaijan (Ganja Agribusiness Association), Armenia
    (International Center for Agribusiness Research and Education) = and
    The Regional Environmental Center for the Caucasus (REC), we have
    established two twinned case study sites (Lagodekhi/Georgia and
    Zaqatala/Azerbaijan, Javakheti/Georgia and Lake Arpi/Armenia).

    The project studies options for an improved national park and buffer
    = zone management focusing on in depth social science data. After a
    series of qualitative interviews during the summer 2012, we started
    with = quantitative interviews on the livelihoods of the rural
    population around the = national parks last year. For a first
    documentation of our results, see the = attached documents or visit
    our project website (see below).

    On October 1st, 2013, we will hold an expert
    conference in the Marriot Country Garden in Tbilisi (10:00 to 14:30
    hrs). We want to present and discuss our latest results, and explore
    future = options for collaboration on socio-economic conservation and
