About.

Based in Kapan, Armenia, ARK is a registered non-profit NGO dedicated to promoting sustainable development and implementing solutions that provide social, economic and environmental benefits to the region as a whole. ARK believes that responsible ecotourism can be a catalyst for a sustainable economy in rural communities while also preserving and fostering appreciation of the natural landscape that surrounds them.

ARK currently has two ecocamps in the Kapan region of Armenia. Both ecocamps are made from 80% recycled material and designed according to permaculture standards. The  goal is to blend native plant species with organic food-growing practices that are chemical-free, prevent erosion and can act as a model of sustainable agriculture to the surrounding community.
