Consulting Services to Produce Wetland Restoration Design, Carry out ESIA for Integrated Wetland Management and Restoration, and Undertake Author’s Supervision

Objectives: The main objective of the consulting services is to support the restoration of three priority wetland sites in Armenia—Khor Virap Sanctuary, Masrik (Sevan), and Lori Lakes. This will be achieved through the preparation of detailed restoration designs, environmental and social impact assessments (ESIAs), and provision of author’s (follow-on) supervision during the restoration works. The goal is to ensure that restoration works are implemented according to the approved design, assist with clarifications as needed, and support quality assurance from a design perspective. The aim is to restore the ecological functions of these wetlands to improve biodiversity, climate resilience, and community benefits. This includes analyzing the ecological, hydrological, and social characteristics of each site, engaging with stakeholders, and proposing sustainable solutions tailored to each wetland's situation.
