Armenia’s capital is set to convene a major international biodiversity conference, but the event comes amid growing tensions over industrial expansion and conservation efforts. Critics highlight the risks posed by mining activities in ecologically sensitive regions, raising questions about whether economic development can coexist with environmental safeguards. With global attention focused on biodiversity loss, the summit’s discussions may face pressure to address these conflicting priorities. The balance between sustainable growth and habitat protection remains a key point of debate as delegates gather.
