A massive Carnival-procession will declare the starting point of the
"Sunchild" 2-nd International Eco-Festival to be held in Yerevan
from October 25 to 29. More than five hundred young people dressed
in animal-shaped clothing and wearing masks are going to inspire
people passing by to join the various Eco-events, which are going to
take place.

Carnival-procession’s starting point will be the Matenadaran and it
will be completed in front of the Moscow Cinema. Musicians and circus
acrobats will accompany the participants with slogans for Environment.

Musical bands and polyethylene sculptures of Armenian endemic,
extinguishing animal kinds will be waiting for them.

The purpose of the Carnival-procession is to raise the issue of Animal
right protection, to remind the society that they are responsible
for the environment in which they live.

International Conservation has included Armenia in the list of richest
living kinds and one of the most dangerous 34 hot points of Earth. The
geographic position and the relief of Armenia were advantageous for
having rich living kinds and endemic animals. In the Rebublic’s Fauna
535 kinds of vertebrates are included, 99 of which are listed in the
Red Book and the 339 are endemic.
