“Environmental campaigners in Iran are deeply pessimistic about the authorities’ commitment to protecting natural habitats. But some hope is offered by grassroots initiatives where local communities have taken it upon themselves to look after wildlife.
The religious and political leaders who have governed Iran since the 1979 revolution have always stressed the importance of nature conservation. But environmentalists say that in reality, the unchecked squandering of natural resources adds up to a disaster.” ~ ENS

We recently had Mohammad Tajeran stay with us from Iran - he is currently cycling around the globe raising awareness for environmental issues. You can check out his website at http://www.weneedtrees.com
