For over 7,000 years the Iraqi Marshland- also known as the Mesopotamian Marshlands- played an important role in global ecosystems by supporting rare wildlife and rich biodiversity. Located in south Iraq, the marshlands stretched to over 6,000 square miles and are believed by many to be the location of the Garden of Eden. It filled the landscape with lush reed beds.
Just 20 years ago, it was home to what seemed to be an environmental miracle — in the midst of a desert, was an oasis of aquatic life that was larger than the Everglades.
Thank you for your kind support and visit. Wish you all a wonderful weekend !
