Changing Landscape and Attitudes: ATP celebrates 15 years of success on Armenia's rough soil

By Karine Ionesyan
ArmeniaNow reporter
A strong advocate of Armenia ecology and environment is celebrating a significant anniversary this year as the Armenia Tree Project (ATP) turns 15.

Operational since 1994, the program (www.armeniatree.org) has aimed to restore the green in the territories that had been logged and deprived of vegetation in consequence of a severe energy crisis in the early years of Armenian independence when people had to cut trees for fuel in harsh winter conditions.
