Re: Armenias Environment

Yap the Amazon is the lung of world and it is being destroyed so badly; I had read that 857.666 Km2 were deforested until 2005; and they think in 2030 it can be 55% deforested thanks to the agriculture and livestock.. For example in Brasil they are growing a lot of soja there for feeding the livestock and those crops too for making biofuel =/

It is actually a mafia which controls the process of destruction of the Amazon, its destruction goes beyond any need for resources...forestation of the world's green areas is too much of a good business for letting it go. Nobody takes seriously the power struggle that's behind the forestation industry, because as of today the Amazon is still in a good state...but once it really becomes a danger to be damaging it further, we will see how many people is killed in the war of interests...

Also, the issue with bio-fuel is its production is a waste of consumable goods that could be rather used to feed people in need. People who came up with that either never thought of it, or they wanted to think of other excuse to not resolve the issue of world hunger

Re: Armenias Environment

The worst of it happens in the Amazon where the farmers strip land to grow crops and are usually uneducated about it so don't do crop rotation, and move on to the next part of the rainforest and chop it down. Quite sad really.

Re: Armenias Environment

That's really a so beautiful project!
As it is written in the site: Armenia is an inspiration for the rest of the planet!
If it was being done in every country, things would be different, the Planet wouldn't be as bad as it is actually and many of the Nature and enviroment problems we have, would be solved!

Re: Armenian Nature

Unfortunately we can sit here and say that the people are wrong in doing these things and they shouldn't do it; but I say the real people who have to be dealt with severely are both the government and the oligarchs. Why? Because they don't act democratically, they act like robbers and thieves and leave the majority of the people poor and desolate. So when the winter comes and some poor man doesn't have enough fire or food or both for his family or himself; he does these things unfortunately to keep himself and his family warm. So you see, the real bad ones are both the government and the oligarchs (they are the robbers, the thieves and the callous selfish ones) that continue the bad trend of corruption unpunished, because they are stealing the bread from the mouths of the people. Instead, they should stop corruption, start acting with care with their brothers by dividing their wealth and millions with the people for a change. After all, the people have to live too.

Re: Armenian Nature

How low can we go with our nature? Apparently, low enough to smash lamps and cut the trees of Tsitsernakaberd park. Atrocious, these people should be dealt with an iron fist.

Smashed Lamps and Cut Down Trees at Tsitsernakaberd Genocide Memorial


“I saw the smashed street lamps. When I looked hard, I realized that next to each smashed street lamp there are stumps of newly cut down trees.” This alert was raised by Tigran Mangasaryan, the publisher of National Geographic Traveler in Armenia.

He spends each morning in Tsitsernakaberd with his friends. For the past few days he paid attention to the smashed lamps along the street leading to the Genocide Memorial. “I saw dozens of stumps along the road and a small fire trampled under feet, nothing else, neither branches, nor chips, nor sawdust, nothing. I got the impression that somebody cut down the trees, took them away under cloud of night without leaving any traces. That’s why all the lamps are smashed,” Tigran Mangasaryan said.

The photos taken by Tigran Mangasaryan distinctly display all the traces of this crime. This material is simultaneously an alert for the RoA Ministry of Nature Protection . We think that the Ministry of Nature Protection represented by the State Environmental Inspectorate must examine this case and take proper measures.
