High-altitude wetland ecosystem preserving Armenia's largest gull colony and critical migratory bird habitat

Lake Arpi National Park

Lake Arpi National Park is one of Armenia's four national parks, established in 2009 to protect a distinctive high-altitude wetland ecosystem in the northwestern Shirak Province.
