Forest resources of Armenia: is it possible to minimize ecosystem damage and wood losses?

摘要

The break up of the USSR left the Republic of Armenia with an economic structure highly dependent on energy and raw material imports for its industries, as well as for food. Although Armenia has implemented a comprehensive land reform programme, overone-third of population is still beneath the subsistence line. The Corruption Perceptions Index in 2011 scored Armenia at 2.6, ranking it along with the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Philippines, and Syria.
