Hamoun Wetland
The Hamoun Wetland is a significant ecological area located in southeastern Iran, near the border with Afghanistan. It consists of a series of interconnected lakes and marshes that support a diverse range of wildlife, including various bird species. The wetland plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem, providing habitat for migratory birds and other animals.
Historically, the Hamoun Wetland has been vital for the livelihoods of local communities, offering resources such as fishing and agriculture. However, it has faced environmental challenges, including drought and water mismanagement, which have led to significant reductions in its size and biodiversity over the years.
