The second in a series of 20-minute environmental films produced by Vem Media Arts in Armenia, titled “Yerevan: City or Desert?” was funded by Armenia Tree Project, Armenian Forests NGO, World Wildlife Fund Caucasus Office, and American University of Armenia’s Environmental Conservation and Research Center.
The film features expert testimony from Eleonora Gabrielyan, head of Armenia’s Botany Institute, Karine Danielyan, chair of the Association for Sustainable Human Development, Artsvin Grigoryan, former chairman of the Armenian Architects Union, and Marzpet Kamalyan, deputy head of the State Environmental Inspectorate.

Experts believe this is in large part due to the city’s deteriorating environmental condition and loss of green spaces.The second in a series of 20-minute environmental films produced by Vem Media Arts in Armenia, titled “Yerevan: City or Desert?” was fun...all »The second in a series of 20-minute environmental films produced by Vem Media Arts in Armenia, titled “Yerevan: City or Desert?” was funded by Armenia Tree Project, Armenian Forests NGO, World Wildlife Fund Caucasus Office, and American University of Armenia’s Environmental Conservation and Research Center.
