UN Armenia's Victory at My Forest Armenia’s Nature Quiz Night

Recently our partner organization, My Forest Armenia NGO, hosted the Nature Quiz Night to contribute knowledge and environmental advocacy. The event was full of excitement as 12 teams of 96 participants gathered to test their knowledge of the environment, climate, nature and forests.

Among the participants, the UN Armenia team stood out for its dedication to sustainability, climate action and unwavering commitment to the environmental conservation. On behalf of UN Armenia, 960 trees were planted as a reward for the achievement. 

"In addition to being a great success, we were able to collaborate and share knowledge with each other, demonstrating our commitment to combat climate change and further improve environmental management," noted Team UN member, Marianna Kocharyan, UNDP Programme Associate. 

“It was a great opportunity to help a cause, and at the same time to demonstrate what real UN teamwork should look like, having so much fun in the process,” highlights Mher Manukyan, UNFPA Communications Associate.

“For me the Nature Quiz Night was an amazing experience of harmonious collaboration in a team with enjoyment of a process and summit feeling of exhilaration and pride for the “green” victory!”, notes Ms. Naira Harutyunyan, Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Expert at FAO Armenia.

Over the past few years, #TeamUN has been actively involved in nature-friendly projects, including the ambitious initiative to plant 18,000 trees in the UN Forest in Lori. Each tree planted symbolized a commitment to a greener, more sustainable future for Armenia.

This victory achieved by UN Armenia serves as another milestone in ensuring the protection of the environment and community development in Armenia.
