Премьер: Армения находится на полпути к достижению ориентиров Куньмин-Монреальской глобальной рамочной программы в области биоразнообразия

АрмИнфо.  Международное сообщество уже сформулировало концепцию <жизни в гармонии с природой> и в 2022 году приняло Куньмин-Монреальскую глобальную рамочную программу в области биоразнообразия, определив цели и четкие ориентиры до 2030 года, Армения же находится на полпути к достижению этих ориентиров. Об этом сказал премьер-министр Армении Никол Пашинян на открытии пленарного заседания саммита <Лидеры во имя природы>, проходящего в рамках СОР17 (17-я Конференция сторон Конвенции о биологическом разнообразии) в экспоцентре Меридиан.

<Мы должны честно признать: в коллективном плане мы всё еще не продвинулись по необходимому пути настолько, насколько это требуется. Сейчас наша задача заключается не в формулировании новых обещаний, а в том, чтобы превратить уже взятые на себя обязательства в реальные действия.  Конференция сторон Конвенции о биологическом разнообразии (COP17) - это хорошая возможность принять решения, которые изменят ситуацию.  Республика Армения рада содействовать реализации этой возможности>, - подчеркнул он.

Напомнив о трудностях, с которыми Армения столкнулась в 90-ые, в результате чего был нанесен урон биоразнообразию, Пашинян подчеркнул, что граждане Республики Армения, правительство, органы государственной власти и местного самоуправления  должны вернуть долг природе. <И это, пожалуй, отражает ту политику, которую мы пытаемся проводить.  Конечно, на пути защиты природы и биоразнообразия Армении у нас есть и успехи, и неудачи>, - заметил глава правительства.

В результате последовательной работы, как рассказал Пашинян, за последние 10 лет общий запас (биомасса) сига в озере Севан вырос более чем в 10 раз: с нескольких сотен тонн в кризисный период середины 2010-х годов, когда запасы, по сути, находились на грани исчезновения, до более чем 4500 тонн по состоянию на июль 2026 года.

Он заметил, что на озере Севан правительство также реализует программу восстановления запасов севанской форели и развития рыбоводства. До 2025 года запасы севанской форели в озере были незначительными и составляли не более 20 тонн. В 2025 году они оценивались примерно в 138 тонн, а по состоянию на июль 2026 года достигли 374 тонн. Сегодня в сети севанских рыбаков вновь попадается форель. По их словам, о такой частоте ее появления они помнят только из рассказов своих дедов.

По его словам, в высокогорных реках Армении также успешно реализуется программа восстановления и развития популяции ручьевой форели. К настоящему времени уже сформировано маточное стадо, а полученную от него молодь планируется регулярно выпускать в высокогорные реки Армении. Только в этом году планируется выпустить около 50 тысяч мальков.

<Следующая наша история успеха связана с кавказским леопардом, который считался исчезнувшим в Армении видом. Сегодня в Армении насчитывается, по оценкам, 6-7 особей, а в 2024 году были зафиксированы также два детеныша. Присутствие леопарда - важный показатель полноценности экосистемы, а рождение детенышей свидетельствует о ее стабильности.  Программа <Реинтродукция кавказского благородного оленя в Армении> - еще одна история успеха для нас. Этот вид животных также считался исчезнувшим в Армении. Однако в 2022-2025 годах в естественную среду обитания было выпущено в общей сложности 22 особи.  В естественной среде уже родились восемь детенышей, что свидетельствует о том, что переселенные животные начали успешно размножаться в природных условиях>, - рассказал он.

Несмотря на эти успехи, как отметил премьер, в Армении, к сожалению, продолжаются незаконные вырубки леса и случаи браконьерства, а также встречаются примеры незаконной эксплуатации природных ресурсов.  Для решения этих проблем всего два года назад власти начали создавать в Республике Армения Экопатрульную службу, то есть, по сути, экологическую полицию, которая сейчас действует в четырех из десяти областей нашей страны.

<Мы будем последовательно внедрять ее и в остальных областях.  Задача службы - обеспечивать круглосуточную охрану природы. Мы намерены развивать ее как в техническом, так и в содержательном плане, а также повышать профессионализм и добропорядочность сотрудников.  Наши леса обладают очень высокой способностью к восстановлению.  Параллельно мы реализуем и должны продолжать реализовывать программы лесовосстановления. Однако необходимо понимать, что без охраны лесов и формирования экологически ответственного поведения среди людей будет очень трудно добиться серьезных результатов>, - сказал глава правительства.  Особым вызовом для нашей страны премьер назвал приведение горнодобывающей промышленности в соответствие с современными экологическими стандартами. Несмотря на трудности, он отметил, что Армения движется в этом направлении.

<Эффективное управление водными ресурсами, внедрение и развитие водосберегающих систем и технологий входят в число приоритетов правительства. Но и здесь очевидно, что не менее важно формировать в нашем обществе культуру бережного отношения к воде.  То же самое я должен сказать и о сфере управления твердыми отходами, где, к сожалению, наши успехи пока не имеют революционного значения.  С другой стороны, мы должны понимать, что изменения, особенно в мышлении людей, происходят очень медленно. Решение этой проблемы заключается в последовательности и непрерывности усилий, и мы полны решимости следовать именно этому пути>, - заявил он.
