Description
Founded in 1994, Armenia Tree Project (ATP) has assisted the Armenian people in using trees to improve their standard of living and protect the global environment. In doing so, ATP is guided by the need to promote self-sufficiency, aid to those with the fewest resources first, and conserve the indigenous ecosystem. ATP has planted approximately 7,000,000 trees in Armenia and Artsakh. In addition to creating new forests and benefiting the environment, this work has revitalized communities, created hundreds of jobs, and educated a generation of young people in Armenia and its diaspora to be better caretakers of the global environment. ATP’s fruit and nut trees generate thousands of pounds of food for local residents every year.With Corporation support, the ATP will continue to assist communities through educational programming, additional crop development,and help enhance a better and healthier environment.
