About us
The Environmental Conservation and Research Center was founded in 1992 by Mr. Sarkis Acopian as a Center at the American University of Armenia overseeing research and academic programs. From the very beginning, it was the Center’s aim to protect Armenia’s biodiversity and natural resources through research, education and public involvement. In the autumn of 2008, the Environmental Conservation and Research Center (ECRC) was renamed the Acopian Center for the Environment (ACE) in honor of the center’s late benefactor, Mr. Sarkis Acopian. Our current projects cover a wide range of subjects from bird and butterfly research to wild plant species conservation and conservation education.
