Collaborative Ecosystem Management in the Arzhan Wetland Area

The Collaborative Ecosystem Management project in the Arzhan Wetland area is executed by the Parishaan Heritage Association located in Kazeroon, in collaboration with SGP/UNDP in the Arzhan Wetland area. Some of the activities defined in this project are related to the development of birdwatching, increasing public awareness about birds in the local community, and supplementary studies on the birds of the area. The Avaye Boom Association and the Parishaan Heritage Association have signed a memorandum of understanding, according to which the birdwatching and ornithology part of this project has been assigned to Avaye Boom.

During this project, Avaye Boom conducted educational workshops in the area and produced visual content on birds in the Arzhan plains to increase public awareness of the biodiversity of birds and improve bird conservation. Also, the selection of a notable bird or birds of the area and the training of birdwatching guides in this project will be conducted by Avaye Boom.

It is worth mentioning that the collaboration between the Avaye Boom Association and the Parishaan Heritage Association has been ongoing for the past two years, and these two associations have been active in various fields alongside each other.
