ELP launch: Iori River Valley project

ELP launch: Iori River Valley project

Natia Javakhishvili, Director at SABUKO, introduces the Iori River Valley project, located in Southern Georgia, at the Endangered Landscapes Programme launch in Cambridge, UK, in October 2018.

Home to magnificent birds of prey and other charismatic fauna, this dramatic landscape is currently threatened by unsustainable agriculture and remnants of former Soviet infrastructure. This project will revitalise the valley’s steppe-riverine ecosystem and encourage local pastoralists to manage the land sustainably in the long-term.
