2 Conserving Ajara-Shavsheti Floristic Region s endemic plant species Establishing the current conservation status of endemics in the Ajara-Shavsheti floristic zone is one of NGO Mta-Bari s main objectives in their project, financed by the WWF/CEPF mutual effort Small Grants Fund. Scientists will identify IUCN categories for each endemic plant, and develop plans for in situ conservation of vulnerable and threatened endemic species on the basis of ecological and demographic Z.Manvelidze and expedition members working in the field. July, 2005, Shavsheti, Turkey. Photo by Mta-Bari. risk assessment. Project deliverables will include recommendations for updates to the IUCN Red List which will be presented to IUCN for consideration. A seed and natural plant collection will be created at Batumi Botanical Garden as part of the in situ conservation component. The first expeditions Galantus. Shavsheti floristic region were made to the Ajara-Shavsheti floristic region in July, endemic species habitats were photographed and studied. Four endemic species natural plants were brought (Epigaea gaulteriodes (Boiss. Et Bal) Takht., Galantus krasnovii Khokhr., Muscari alexadrae Khokhr., Rhododendron ungernii Trautv.) to the Batumi Botanical Garden of Academy of Science of Georgia. For more information contact Zurab Manvelidze, coordinator, zurab58@yahoo.com. CEPF and WWF Caucasus contribute to Shikahogh Reserve protection As you may remember from our earlier issues, an alternative to the highway planned to cut across Armenia s Shikahogh reserve was successfully accepted thanks to the energetic and insistent efforts of Armenian civil society. WWF Caucasus PO Armenian office gathered support from NGOs and worked closely with government bodies. Our Small Grants Fund also supported the efforts of local NGO Ecolur in conducting a media campaign to promote an alternative to the highway. Environmental activists conducted meetings involving all potential stakeholders in the campaign local and international media, tourist and timber businesses representatives, local administration of Siunik region, representatives of central government and National Parliament, as well as international organizations. Journalists were brought on a media tour of the reserve and the surrounding Meghri region. Informative leaflets and brochures were published and distributed. A documentary made by a number of NGOs detailed the potential risks to the delicate habitat of the forests in the reserve and played a key role in informing government opinion as to possible alternatives.

3 Helping the Otter to Survive Otter (Lutra lutra) research in the Lencoran region of Azerbaijan close to the Iranian border has been undertaken under the Sumgait Center for Environmental Rehabilitation project supported by WWF Caucasus and CEPF s joint initiative. Rich with small forest brooks, rivers and other water reservoirs, many otter tracks were found on the Vasharuchai and Istiruchai rivers in the area. The main threats facing the otter in this region are water poisoning, and the use of explosives and electricity for fishing which severely damage otter forage reserve. Poachers hunting for otter fur are another danger menacing the species. Hyrcan National Park, officially opened Otter tracks in Agrichai river surroundings. August, Photo by E.Askerov, WWF Cau PO by the President Ilham Aliev on September 8, 2005, will cover these territories and help to save otter ecosystems. Another territory covered by the project and interesting for otter researchers lies in the north-west of the country by the Azerbaijan-Georgia border. Two summer expeditions revealed otter habitats mainly in two big rivers, the Alazani and Agrichai. A survey of the local population and meetings with hunters and taxonomy specialists Vasharuchai river, Hyrcan Corridor, August Photo by E.Askerov, WWF Cau PO showed that annually 5-7 animals are caught by poachers. During warm seasons, otters frequent the Alazani, while in winter when water reservoirs around the river are frozen, otters move to warmer forest rivers and are easily caught with traps. But as long as there is a state border between Georgia and Azerbaijan, the territory of otter reproduction is strictly protected and poachers access there prevented. Sumgayit Center for Environmental Rehabilitation will encourage local communities and relevant local authorities to protect otters, emphasizing threats coming in winter, through training and special interactive seminars. For more information contact Tahir Aydinov zootair@rambler.ru Eco-Pulse raised among public servants Since the public outcry in Georgia against poverty, corruption and crime two years ago, all public servants have become more attentive to the country s laws and regulations. For local authorities working to protect the environment, knowledge of relevant international conventions and agreements ratified by parliament is critically important Thankfully, public servants in 8 regions of the country are benefiting from NGO Eco-Pulse Association s project, Support Government Conservation Agencies in the implementation and 3
4 reinforcement of International Conventions and Agreements related to biodiversity conservation and sustainable use. Training and seminars are being held in cooperation with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment Protection of Georgia. Training sessions in Akhaltsikhe, Telavi, Kutaisi, Ambrolauri, Ozurgeti, Zugdidi and Batumi have been held by the NGO. A special 82 page publication, including a Georgian translation, of all the international conventions and agreements on conservation and environment protection adopted in the country was prepared and distributed to participants in the training sessions. This brochure will be delivered free to NGOs and other international organizations as well. The interactive format of the event raised a number of questions concerning the local implementation of international conventions and cooperation with central government. The final meeting with central government representatives and NGOs will take place in Tbilisi in October, Conventions and International Agreements for public employees cover page.

Rukhadze Eco-tourism heralds first results from Greater Caucasus investment Four months after the first grants were made by the WWF Caucasus CEPF joint initiative, concrete results are being seen in the Caucasus Hotspot. An eco-tourism base has been built in the village of Juta in the Kazbegi region of the Greater Caucasus biodiversity corridor. To attract local and foreign tourists to this beautiful place, blessed with natural and historical monuments, local people needed some basic facilities. Now Juta village can receive up to 300 guests every season, running from the beginning of June to the end of September. Juta village, tents for eco-tourists. July, On offer to tourists are Photo by B.Barkalaia comfortable tents and trained horses, an eating area, kitchen and guiding services. A special promotional brochure will be published in the autumn in English and Georgian to help spread the word about Juta and the Chaokhi massif in the Caucasus and abroad. Three local families who participated in the construction will manage the tourist point during the summer months and care for its safety in winter. Alternative sources of income for the local population will help conserve the beautiful Kazbegi region for future generations. Eating area and kitchen for tourists in Juta, July, Photo by B.
