Introduction Zagros, the greatest and longest range of mountains of Iran, with an area of more than 32 million hectares, includes 13 provinces starting from West-Azarbaijan then pass- ing Kurdistan, Kermanshah, Lorestan, Hamedan, Isfahan, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Kohgiluye and Boyer-Ahmad, Fars, Ilam, Khuzestan, Bushehr and Hormozgan prov- inces; it continues to the North of Hormoz Canyon and there, it joins Iran’s central range of mountains and Makran highlands. The topography and climate have caused a great diversity in ecosystems and habitats all over this region. Zagros is the habitat of more than 2000 plants’ species and some endangered and endemic species, and its biodiver- sity is global significance. This mountain is undoubtedly one of the main reasons of the emergence of the first civilizations in this area. Zagros is considered as the source of some important rivers such as Karun, Zayanderud, Karkheh, Zarinehrud, Siminerud, Dalaki, etc. Considering the amount of rainfalls and low evaporation level and appro- priate location of geological formations, it provides considerable amount (45%) of the ground and underground water of Iran country. In recent decades, Zagros biodiversity in protected areas and its surroundings have faced serious dangers due to the changes in population, socio-economic systems, lack of proper management methods and the decrease in the traditional land use, impacted by unsustainable and unbalanced development. If the current practices of using natural resources and the environment do not change, many of the species will extinct soon. For years the relevant organizations in the region have conducted the sustainable develop- ment studies based on which tried to implement the activities; however, the outcomes did not have desired results in the environment. These activities were done separately and did not involve the local communities; therefore, they did not have any impact on the conservation of biodiversity and ecological capability of the region. Therefore, a need was felt to design and develop the Conservation and Sustainable Development Program of Central Zagros Mountains aimed at mingling conservation of biodiversity and development through the participation of all the relevant stakeholders. Its main goal is to manage sustainable development of the region via mainstreaming the conservation of biodiversity in the management and sustainable use of the water resources, agriculture, forestry, rangelands, tourism, surface and underground water, and also integrated biodiversity conservation in the development of the infrastructure and the socio-economic development plan. The management pattern of this program has been developed to help gain sustainable development at macro level, strengthen the natural resources’ beneficiaries’ livelihoods and also to form a stimuli for the develop- ment of economy and having it scaled up through the CZM and at the same time, it is to develop a practical and appropriate structure and system for the organizations at na- tional and provincial levels in order to reach the biodiversity conservation and the local communities’ livelihoods’ promotion. The main approach of the Central Zagros Mountain Conservation and Sustainable De- velopment program is mainstreaming the conservation of biodiversity and sustainable use through the activities done by the beneficiaries, economic and producing sectors in the Central Zagros Landscape in an area which is around 3.100.000 ha. This strategy has 7 CZM Conservation and Sustainable Development Program faced up with many challenges, so far; therefore, finding effective approaches towards this issue is regarded as one of the main goals of the present program. Developing CZM C+SD P was done by the great participation of the stakeholders and forming working groups of experts at national and provincial levels, and the relevant managers and ex- perts; this created the opportunity for them to consult with the head of the organization and after receiving the viewpoints of the relevant organization adjust the program like- wise. These decisions were all made in a group and the Department of Environment has played the role of a facilitator only. 2.

Postal Code: 1544915113 Accepted 28 September, 2019 The geographical study of Iran and the feasibility study of tourism attractions in the country indicated that "eco-tourism" is an apt and unique, but neglected economic resource. Protection of habitation areas is one of the main bases of eco-tourism. In the present research, we investigated the role of eco-tourism to preserve and maintain an animal on the verge of extinction [the mugger crocodile (Crocodylus palustris)]. It is hoped that the Iranian and global environment authorities take the issue into consideration to strive for the preservation of this unique species. This research aims at the development and application of the endangered species in eco-tourism and is based upon deep interviews with the local environment authorities and fields visits. The results indicated that Bahukalat (Gando) protected area, which enjoys national and international attractions, such as the mugger crocodile (C. palustris), Oman sea coast and Gwadar Bay and regional attractions like Bahukalat river, specific customs, local foods and handicrafts, has major importance in regard to tourism development, specially eco-tourism. Key words: Bahukalat (Gando) protected area, endangered species, the mugger crocodile, tourism, eco-tourism.

  • Rare Birds in Iran in the Late 1960S and 1970S
    Podoces, 2008, 3(1/2): 1–30 Rare Birds in Iran in the Late 1960s and 1970s DEREK A. SCOTT Castletownbere Post Office, Castletownbere, Co. Cork, Ireland. Email: [email protected] Received 26 July 2008; accepted 14 September 2008 Abstract: The 12-year period from 1967 to 1978 was a period of intense ornithological activity in Iran. The Ornithology Unit in the Department of the Environment carried out numerous surveys throughout the country; several important international ornithological expeditions visited Iran and subsequently published their findings, and a number of resident and visiting bird-watchers kept detailed records of their observations and submitted these to the Ornithology Unit. These activities added greatly to our knowledge of the status and distribution of birds in Iran, and produced many records of birds which had rarely if ever been recorded in Iran before. This paper gives details of all records known to the author of 92 species that were recorded as rarities in Iran during the 12-year period under review. These include 18 species that had not previously been recorded in Iran, a further 67 species that were recorded on fewer than 13 occasions, and seven slightly commoner species for which there were very few records prior to 1967. All records of four distinctive subspecies are also included. The 29 species that were known from Iran prior to 1967 but not recorded during the period under review are listed in an Appendix. Keywords: Rare birds, rarities, 1970s, status, distribution, Iran. INTRODUCTION Eftekhar, E. Kahrom and J. Mansoori, several of whom quickly became keen ornithologists.

School of Environment, College of Engineering, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran Received: 28.06.2018 Accepted: 15.11.2018 ABSTRACT: Although complexity and vulnerability assessment of mountain landscapes is increasingly taken into consideration, less attention is paid to ecophronesis-based solutions so as to reduce the fragile ecosystem vulnerability. The main propose of this study is to provide an insight of mountain complex landscape vulnerability and propose ecophronesis-based solutions in strategic planning framework for reduction of vulnerability. The study has been carried out by following five steps in Chelgard Mountain landscapes (center of Iran): First, it determines the evaluation framework on basis of rapid literature review. Second, the vulnerability is assessed, using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), in accordance with experts’ opinion. In the third step, the results provide a zoning map of vulnerability. Afterwards, the study suggests a strategic plan to manage the area environmentally and, finally, the solutions are proposed, based on ecophronesis, in order to not only solve the plight but also reduce the vulnerability. Results from the vulnerability assessment indicate that anthropogenic stressors intensify the vulnerability. While local ecological wisdom is shaped over time in the area, its application faces challenges as a result of rapid and immense socio-economic changes. It seems that sustainability of mountain ecosystem needs to regenerate social structures on basis of socio-ecological capital.

Nabizadeh 1Islamic Azad University, Sciences and Research Branch, Ahvaz, Iran 2Science and Research Campus, Islamic Azad U niversity, Tehran, Iran 3Ahvaz Jondishapoor Medical Sciences University, Ahvaz, Iran 4Nathan Campus, Griffith University, Queensland, Australia 5Department of Environmental Health Engineering, School of Public Health, Medical Sciences/University of Teh ran, Tehran, Iran Received 10 January 2006; revised 30 February 2006; accepted 25 March 2006 ABSTRACT The Karun and Dez rivers basin are the largest river s basin in Iran which are situated in the south west of the country. Karun River originates from Zag ros mountain ranges and passing through Khuzestan plain, reaches the Persian Gulf. Several cities lie along its path of them the most important is Ahvaz, the center of Khuzestan province. To achieve water quality goals in Karun and Dez rivers, a water qual ity management model has been developed through the GIS approach and a mathematical water quality model. In Karun and Dez rivers, water quality has decreased due to heavy pollution loads from Khuzestan province cities and surrounding areas. In this survey, pollution sources, land use, geographic features and measured water quality data of the river basin were incorporated into the Arc -view geographic information system database. With the database, the model calculated management type and cost for each manag ement project in the river basin. Until now, river management policy for polluted rivers in Iran has been first of all to get penalties from pollution sources and secondarily, to construct treatment plants for the pollution sources whose wastewater is rele ased untreated and for which the wastewater quality goal of the Iranian Department of the E nvironment is not met.

  • The Ahvas Protests Artical Name : Are the Minorities' Demonstrations A
    Artical Name : The Ahvas Protests Artical Subject : Are the minorities' demonstrations a reflection of a crisis in Tehran? Publish Date: 01/08/2021 Auther Name: Future for Advanced Research and Studies Subject : On July 15, Khuzestan in South West Iran witnessed a range of protests against the disintegrating economic and living conditions in the country, particularly the lack of water within the province, which was called µwater protests¶or µthirst protests¶This was extended to other Iranian cities outside Khuzestan. The protesters' demands evolved to demand the overthrow of the regime itself raising slogans of µDeath to Khamenei¶The framework of the protests:The protests that took place in Ahvas can be traced back to the following reasons: 1- Deliberate policies to µimpoverish¶the region: one of the reasons for the protests within Khuzestan province was what the residents of the region considered a systematic policy to prevent the region from exploiting its resources, since Khuzestan is ranked among the 31 richest Iranian provinces with both oil and water.These demonstrations erupted on the grounds of the Iranian authorities diverting the course of some rivers in the region, including the Karun River, which is the largest of them, to the provinces of Isfahan, Zayanderud, Yazd and Qom, which are predominantly Persian. This threatens to expose Khuzestan¶s water scarcity and a decrease in the levels of water required for the cultivation of thousands hectares, possibly resulting in desertification, an increase in dust storms, and extensive environmental and economic harm.In addition to the water and electricity crisis in several regions in Iran, which caused the eruption of demonstrations in those regions, managing this issue includes several problems, due to entering into unplanned projects resulting in several negative repercussions.
