VivaCell-MTS office hosted the representatives of the IUCN National Committee of the Netherlands (IUCN) and the Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets - VivaCell-MTS’s main partner for environmental projects.
During the visit the IUCN NL representatives presented the mission and objectives of IUCN, as well as the joint conservation project implemented by FPWC and VivaCell-MTS in Armenia - the Caucasus Wildlife Refuge project in Ararat region.
The measurable increase of wildlife in CWR is a direct indicator of the project’s efficiency, mainly the increase of Bezoar goats, Bearded vultures, Golden eagles and the presence of the endangered Caucasian leopard in CWR.
IUCN NL coordinator for projects for the purchase of Nature programme Marc Hoogeslag awarded the General Manager of VivaCell-MTS Ralph Yirikian with a certificate of recognition for his vast contribution to nature conservation in Armenia.
