urism facilities.
Vanadzor Canyon is an area rich of wildlife biodiversity, including endangered species, such as the Bubo-Bubo eagle-owl. The canyon experiences degradation of ecosystems because of forest logging, illegal hunting of extinct species, pollution of air, water and land. These practices are generally a result of lack of control mechanisms, and abandonment by local authorities and

Agriculture has been the chief source of income and main occupation for around 2,350 residents of Gargar and Vardablur communities of Lori region. Previously, these two communities used water from the same irrigation network, which was delivered by ( ... )
River. The main irrigation pipeline was made from big size of metallic pipes and is currently not used.
This resulted in very serious socio-economic consequences, as most of the community arable lands remained uncultivated: around 240 ha in Gargar and Vardablur communities.
The main goal of the project is to introduce climate-smart agro ecological practices in Gargar and Vardablur
