На прилегающих к Амулсару территориях обнаружены краснокнижные виды

 Согласно проведенному
WWF-Армения исследованию, на прилегающих к Амулсарскому золотоносному месторождению
территориях обнаружены краснокнижные виды флоры и фауны.


Как рассказал глава WWF-Армения Карен
Манвелян на пресс-конференции 22 мая, в общей сложности было обнаружено 4
редких вида млекопитающих, 18 видов птиц, 2 вида рептилий. В их числе - арменийский
муфлон, безоаровый козел, лесная кошка, бурый медведь, ящерица закавказский
полоз, армянская гадюка, армянская чайка, черный аист, желтая трясогузка, сова,
сип обыкновенный, каменный орел, белоголовый сип, бородач, степной лунь, малый
подорлик, полевой лунь, сапсан, красная утка, орел-змееяд.  Карен Манвелян сказал, что обнаруженные
животные не обитают на самой территории Амулсарского золотого месторождения


На территории Амулсара было выявлено
исчезающее растение лапчатка порфировая (potentilla porphyrantha). В общей
сложности исследования, в которых также приняли участие специалисты Института
ботаники НАН РА во главе с профессором Элеонорой Габриелян, затронули
территорию в 10 тыс. га.


По мнению Манвеляна, разработка
месторождения будет воздействовать на растительный и животный мир, и в первую
очередь на рептилий, которые выявлены на прилегающих территориях,  близко расположенных к Амулсару. Помимо
этого, сократится охота хищных птиц, а животные смогут покинуть насиженные
места из-за большого скопления людей и тяжелой техники. Эксперт напомнил, что
согласно Кодексу о недрах Армении, а также требованиям Европейского банка
реконструкции и развития (EBRD), там, где есть краснокнижные виды, горнорудная
деятельность запрещена.


Со своей стороны главный эколог компании
"Геотим" Армен Степанян проинформировал, что начиная с 2008 года, на
Амулсаре компания также ведет экологические исследования, включающие в себя
также исследования биоразнообразия, отчет о которых будет издан в августе
текущего года как часть международного экспертного исследования по
экологическому и социальному воздействию проекта. По  итогам этих исследований также было
обнаружено растение лапчатка порфировая, для охраны которой, как пообещал
Степанян, будет разработан план управления, который поможет предотвратить
негативное влияние на данный вид. Кроме того, на территории выше Джермука была
выявлена серна, а близ лесов Саравана - медведь.


Эколог подчеркнул, что деятельность
"Геотима" будет соответствовать самым жестким европейским стандартам.
Что касается Кодекса о недрах, то здесь Степанян обратил внимание на то, что в
кодексе говорится о самой территории горнорудной деятельности, а не о
прилегающих районах. На самой территории же 
ожидающейся горнорудной деятельности краснокнижные виды не выявлены.


Представитель "Геотим" также
сказал, что компания вовлекла в работы по экологическим исследованиям несколько
международных экспертных компаний. В данный момент 10 международных экспертов
ведут исследования на территрии Амулсара для выявления птиц на территории, так
как компания серьезно относится к международным требованияам по выявлению и
применению соответствующих международных норм по всем вопросам экологии.



Отметим, что 95% акций ЗАО "Геотим",
созданной в Армении в 2005 году, принадлежат международной компании
"Lydian International Ltd". По предварительным данным компании, с
Амулсарского месторождения планируется добыть свыше 40 тонн золота.  Среди акционеров Lydian International
числятся такие авторитетные институциональные инвесторы как Международная
финансовая корпорация (IFC) (16,5%) и Европейский банк реконструкции и развития
(EBRD)(7,5%).  Это обстоятельство, по
мнению экспертов, безусловно послужит тому, что основные экологические риски
проекта все же будут адекватно оценены..
