2013 Conference Paper:
Ecological Niche Modeling in GIS as Conservation Measures of Critically Endangered Populations of Lizards in Armenia
Presenter(s): *Marine Arakelyan, Yerevan State University, Armenia
"The biodiversity of stony semidesert in Ararat Valley of Armenia is enriched by rare, endangered and endemic species of flora and fauna. The semideserts are fast disappearing, being converted to agricultural use. To ensure the survival of the rare species of reptiles, the effective conservation strategies are needed, but currently no overall plan for saving the endangered species of reptiles exists.
