Documentary spotlights deforestation in Armenia
What happens to a country when there are years of war, no jobs and an earthquake? Often among the ripples of desperation is the reality of severe deforestation.
This has been the case recently with Haiti, and it is the case with Armenia, as this recently published story and documentary from National Geographic outlines.
An excerpt from the film, produced by the Armenia Tree Project:
In 1900, 25 percent of Armenia’s territory was covered in forest. By 1990, only 12 percent of the territory was forested. In 2003, the forest cover had been reduced to only eight percent.
