Iraqi nature is considered unique for containing huge water bodies called (Marshes), which derive their water mainly from the Tigris and Euphrates. In recent years, these bodies have been exposed to a significant shortage of flowing water due to drought and the absence of mechanisms and strategic plans for water storage by the responsible government agencies, such as building Sufficient dams, which caused most of them to dry up and lose a large part of their nature, and they almost finally got out of the World Heritage List as an international nature reserve, in addition to the displacement of thousands of their residents who lost their means of subsistence.
The amounts of rain that fell recently in Iraq revived hopes of restoring life to the marshes, which encourages the displaced population to return and the helps the prosperity of its wild life like the flocks of birds. (alaraby.co.uk)
Many organizations and community parties interested in the environment, including NIHR, call on the relevant government agencies to take advantage of this opportunity as lessons learned and to find effective solutions to preserve the environment and human rights in those areas and the stability of their communities.
