Introduction This biodiversity assessment for the Republic of Armenia fulfills three interlinked objectives: · Summarizes the status of biodiversity and its conservation in Armenia; and analyzes threats, identifies opportunities, and makes recommendations for the improved conservation of biodiversity.
