Georgian Minister of Environment Protection and Natural Resources Khatuna Gogoladze has appreciated a project initiated by Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Leyla Aliyeva.
In a letter to her Azerbaijani counterpart, Gogoladze expressed appreciation for the work carried out by the head of the Public Association of IDEA (International Dialogue for Environmental Protection) Leyla Aliyeva on the reintroduction of gazelles in their historical habitat in the Caucasus area.
The Ministry of Environment Protection and Natural Resources of Georgia praised the recent reintroduction of a herd of ten gazelles from Azerbaijan to Georgia, and expressed appreciation for the cooperation.
Ten gazelles transported from Azerbaijan were reintroduced to neighboring Georgia as part of the IDEA's campaign project on October 21.
The project "Reintroduction of gazelles to their historical habitat areas in the Caucasus" was initiated by Vice President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Leyla Aliyeva.
The project aims at increasing the population of gazelles, as well as relocating them to the areas they previously inhabited, from which they disappeared for various reasons.
