TWO ORGANIZATIONS SIGN MEMORANDUM OF COOPERATION FOR BIODIVERSITY PROTECTION

World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Armenia and Armenian Public Relations Association (APRA) signed a memorandum of cooperation yesterday. Ara Saghatelyan, APRA Chairman, and Karen Manvelyan, WWF Armenia office director, were the persons to sign the document.

The office public relations department says the memorandum attaches importance to the protection of the Armenian biodiversity and sustainable use of natural resources. The cooperation aims to quickly react and provide accurate information to decision makers and the public. WWF Director Manvelyan raised his hope that “cooperation with APRA will step up public education in environmental protection as well as attract public attention to biodiversity risks.”

WWF was established in 1961 and is active in more than 100 countries. It opened its office in Armenia in 2001.
