Armenia's rich biodiversity is one of the most important preconditions for economic development in the country. Wildlife and endemic species of animals are conditioned by the development of agriculture such as crop production, livestock breeding, ( ... )
ping, fish breeding, and some important branches of light and food industry. At the same time, due to overexploitation of natural resources, the level of anthropogenic changes in natural landscapes in Armenia is high. This has resulted in the reduction of areas occupied by wildlife, pollution, loss of habitat for certain species, and changes in the services provided by ecosystems.

Almost 60% of 3 to 5-year-old children in Armenia don?t have an opportunity of preschool education. Moreover, 80% of them live in rural areas. For communities with an average subsidized annual budget of about 10,000 USD, operation of a traditional ( ... )
garten is expensive, especially as regards to energy costs for heating and sanitary needs. Therefore, rural kindergartens gradually stop functioning, depriving rural children of pre-school education, which further affects the quality of school education.
As a complex solution of the abovementioned issues, ?Astghatsolk? NGO is proposing an economically viable model of mobile kindergartens in the

Land degradation is one of the main factors that seriously threatens development of agriculture and agrobiodiversity in Armenia. According to the Fifth National Report of the Republic of Armenia
to the Convention on Biological Diversity (2014) ( ... )
11% of land degradation is the result of human activity, out of which about 10% is conditioned by improper agricultural practices, causing soil erosion, secondary salinization and degradation of natural ecosystems. Another factor that seriously impedes development of agriculture in the country is small farm size and very fragmented land parcels.

The economic and energy crisis of early 90s followed by the collapse of the Soviet Union resulted in massive logging of trees for firewood resulting in deforestation that threatened the Armenia?s ecosystems. Irregular cuttings and lack of adequate ( ... )
protection measures resulted in the change of climatic conditions in forests, as well as fire risk increase (high temperature, abundant light, branches and leaves due to cuttings). Deforestation also resulted in soil erosion contributing to an increase in natural disasters like floods and landslides. Tavush is among the regions that have suffered the most damage from deforestation.
