The Birds of Armenia Project was instituted with the goal of promoting conservation awareness in Armenia and introducing its rich natural treasures to the world. It is hoped that through the project's publications (the Field Guide, Handbook, and the Map) people worldwide will gain an appreciation for these irreplaceable resources.
