The Hamoun wetlands are a series of interconnected marshes located in the southeastern part of Iran, near the border with Afghanistan. These wetlands are part of the larger Hamoun complex, which includes several lakes and rivers. They play a crucial role in supporting local biodiversity and provide habitat for various species of birds and aquatic life. Historically, the Hamoun wetlands have been vital for agriculture and fishing in the region. However, they have faced significant environmental challenges, including drought and water diversion, which have led to a decline in water levels and habitat loss. Conservation efforts are essential to protect this unique ecosystem.
