Eco-Center
“Scientists and researchers favorite place where it all began”.
The Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets (FPWC) established the Eco-Center in 2013 with the aim of accommodating eco-tourists and other nature lovers in the village of Urtsadzor, thereby contributing to the development of rural communities in the long term.
The Eco Center consist of Eco Lodge (main building), Wooden house, Haven, Dom 1 and Dom 2.
Also here are located the Bear Rescue Center, the The Tree Nursery.
The accommodations you find elsewhere may be more accessible but will not give you the sense of wonderment or connection with nature that you will experience after just a single night in the Eco-Lodge. Those eco-friendly buildings were built from recycled containers and are equipped with solar panels, locally-drawn water, and waste-treatment conducted with our personal water system. The sustainability and conservation goals that we have for our organization are realized not just through the projects or activities we work hard on but also through the special facilities
we have built with these important goals in mind.
In the evenings you can sip our brand of Holani tea in peace as you look up at the stars, visible far away from the light pollution that usually blocks out the stars from the cities. In the mornings you will be able to see the Bezoar Goats scaling up the cliffsides not far from Eco-Center, and if you’re lucky maybe even a larger apex predator. It is an important to understand that your stay with us will not just be a normal vacation, at all time you will be neighbors with the endemic wildlife in the region.
You can book your vacation with us knowing that your stay will directly benefit the wildlife in Armenia, who are supported by FPWC’s conservational goals and numerous projects just like this one.
