 of Armenia&description=Economic Sustainability indices has an ability to sustain development towards progressive economy. Composite Appraising Supportive Progress (CASP) is a new index which is derived from Combined Sustainable Development Index (CSDI). Biodiversity economics coincide with the concept of sustainable development (SD) in the course of educational and industrial perspectives with use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or Remote Sensing (RS) in terms of CASP, while having the next presentations: 1. Genes - Society (S) - Students - Studying - Space Science; 2. Species - Economy (E) - Professors - Teaching - Production and Consumption; 3. Ecosystems - Nature (N) - Scientists - Creating - GIS & RS; 4. Functions - SD as CASP - Research - Performing - Computer Appraisals. The current paper is dedicated to construct CASP for Armenia. The new construction of CASP is performed by using Armenian existed statistical data and representing an innovative CASP model for Armenia with newly defined categories in 3D magnitudes. Spontaneous estimations of biodiversity concept in Armenian CASP will allow to finalize the view of current sustainable development with an approximate level of progressive economy in Armenia with the application of Composite Progressive Indicators (CPI) procedures as: α.
