The Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets (FPWC), founded in 2002, operates at the intersection of wildlife protection, environmental education awareness-raising and sustainable development for rural communities in Armenia. Our objective is to actively involve rural populations in the sustainable growth of their communities while advocating for mutual respect among humans, natural resources, and cultural heritage.
FPWC plays a crucial role in addressing Armenia’s environmental challenges. At the heart of its work is wildlife conservation. FPWC manages the Caucasus Wildlife Refuge, a protected area dedicated to safeguarding the habitats of endangered species such as the Armenian mouflon and the Caucasian leopard. By implementing comprehensive species monitoring programs, FPWC gathers vital data to inform effective conservation strategies.
Community development initiatives are also a key focus, promoting sustainable livelihoods for local communities to reduce their reliance on natural resource exploitation. Environmental education programs are designed to raise awareness and educate the public, particularly youth, about environmental issues and conservation efforts. Additionally, FPWC promotes ecotourism, encouraging responsible tourism that supports conservation efforts and provides economic benefits to local communities.
FPWC collaborates with local and international organisations, government agencies, and communities to achieve its conservation goals. It is actively involved in various national and regional conservation networks and initiatives. Through these partnerships, FPWC has made significant strides in protecting critical habitats, conserving endangered species, and raising environmental awareness among the public. Their community-based approach integrates conservation with sustainable development, ensuring the long-term success of their efforts.
