On May 1, 2014, Nature Iraq, with the generous support of the Ministry of Tourism, will host a festival in Chibaish, our home base in the Mesopotamian Marshlands of Iraq to commemorate 10 years of work to protect, preserve, and restore Iraq's natural environment.
The festival will also mark the beginning of a partnership between Nature Iraq and the Ministry of Tourism, focusing particularly on the ecotourism potential of the Mesopotamian Marshlands. The first action of this partnership will be the construction of guest cabins at the Martyr's Monument in Chibaish, funded by the Ministry of Tourism and operated by Nature Iraq.

This event will be the first of a series of events and publications commemorating Nature Iraq's 10th anniversary. The 10 years Nature Iraq has existed have contained the reflooding and protection of the Mesopotamian Marshlands and the first comprehensive studies of biodiversity in Iraq in 30 years, but have also presented increased desertification across the country and decreased availability of water. There is much to celebrate, and even more work to be done. For more information on Nature Iraq's 10th Anniversary, follow us on Twitter, join us on Facebook, or bookmark our RSS feed.
