Hamoun complex
The Hamoun complex refers to a group of interconnected wetlands located in the southeastern part of Iran, primarily in the Sistan and Baluchestan province. This area includes several lakes, marshes, and rivers, which are crucial for local biodiversity and provide habitat for various species of birds and fish. The complex is also significant for the livelihoods of local communities who depend on its resources for fishing and agriculture.
Over the years, the Hamoun complex has faced environmental challenges, including drought and water mismanagement, which have led to a decline in water levels. These changes have impacted the ecosystem and the communities that rely on it. Conservation efforts are essential to restore and protect this vital area, ensuring its sustainability for future generations.
