TREES TO BE COUNTED

Social

Chief of Yerevan Municipality’s Environment Department Roman Kosemyan said Monday the department had launched a campaign in a bid to preserve green areas in Armenian capital. First of all, the municipality officials embarked on measuring green areas and counting trees in Yerevan.

In his words, in 1986 the capital’s green plantations covered more than 1,200 hectares. Journalists say now only 500 hectares are covered by green plantations.
