Background

During the past two decades, different factors including continuous drought, increasing number of dams, over-abstraction of underground waters, etc. have impacted many wetlands in Iran, particularly the Lake Urmia, the largest hyper-saline wetland of Iran supporting more than 5 million inhabitants and important biodiversity. To overcome this challenge, the Government of Islamic Republic of Iran, together with national and international organizations such as UNDP, started several initiatives to stop the degradation trend and restore this important Lake. UNDP’s special efforts on LU restoration started since 2014, with financial support of the government of Japan, and implemented through its long-standing “Conservation of Iranian Wetlands Project” (CIWP). Initially, the project focused on local communities’ participation in restoration measures mainly Sustainable Agriculture practices and biodiversity conservation but the results of experiences and lessons learnt led to extension of the scope of activities to other areas such as socio-economics and introduction of complementary tools to practice more integrated approach during seven phases of the project.
