Protecting the enviroment


Armenia faces several environmental challenges that require urgent action. Dignity Movement plays a critical role in addressing these challenges through awareness-raising, advocacy, and the implementation of sustainable solutions.:
· Air
Pollution: Armenia's capital city, Yerevan, is prone to high levels of air
pollution due to the use of coal, wood, and natural gas for heating and
transportation. This has led to increased rates of respiratory diseases and
other health issues.
· Water
Pollution: The country's water resources are under threat from industrial
pollution, untreated sewage, and agricultural run-off. This affects both human
health and aquatic life.
· Waste
Management: Armenia has a poor waste management system, with most of the waste
going to landfill sites. This creates environmental hazards, such as soil
contamination and air pollution.
· Deforestation:
Deforestation has been a significant problem in Armenia due to illegal logging
and land use changes. This has resulted in soil erosion, loss of habitat for
wildlife, and an increased risk of landslides.
· Climate
Change: Armenia is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, such as
increased temperatures, droughts, and flooding. This has led to a decline in
agricultural productivity and food security.
· Biodiversity
Loss: Armenia has lost much of its biodiversity due to habitat destruction,
over-harvesting, and pollution. This has led to a decline in the number of
plant and animal species and threatens the country's ecosystems.
· Land Degradation: Land degradation is a significant challenge in Armenia, with soil erosion and desertification affecting large areas of the country. This is due to a combination of factors, including deforestation, overgrazing, and unsustainable land use practices.
