On November 1, 2022, the presentation of “Forest Alliance of Armenia” Foundation took place.

Hayk Minasyan, Chair of the board of "Shen" Charity NGO NGO, noted that the alliance will deal with the issues of land allocation for afforestation. Hayk Minasyan emphasized that it will be very important and useful if the state publishes a map of areas subject to afforestation.
