Abstract
This Decision establishes the procedure for the reintroduction of wild animals into natural conditions within the Republic of Armenia. It defines reintroduction as a process aimed at returning species to their natural habitats in order to restore or supplement populations. Reintroduction is carried out on the basis of a program submitted by individuals or legal entities holding a permit to keep wild animals in captive or semi-free conditions, subject to approval by the authorized state body.
The Decision specifies the required contents of the program, including information on the species and number of animals, habitat assessment based on available scientific data, analysis of environmental, economic, social and health-related risks, financial assessment, and a monitoring plan covering the adaptation, behaviour, and movement of reintroduced animals. It also provides for post-release monitoring and for coordination of the reintroduction process by a designated working group.
