3 Why Exhibit?

4 4 Ecotourism in Iran The study of the natural geography of Iran and also, the feasibility of each ecotourism attraction for investment in our country indicates that ecotourism in Iran is a very unique and fruitful economic resource which has so far been untapped. The exemplary geographical and seasonal diversity of Iran has provided very different species of flora and fauna thus paving a way for the country to avail the benefit of being one of the few countries in the world with such a rich biodiversity. Apart from being home to the world s largest lake in the north of the country, Iran also has a share in twelve hundred kilometers of the coastline in the Persian Gulf towards South. Other notable places are 50 Iranian lakes out of which about 18 are amongst the 59 known terrestrial biosphere reserves. Northwest dense forests of Mazandaran province are the last surviving forests in the world and hence are pretty ancient forests.

Variety of ethnic and tribal culture; 6. High potential to create institutions in the field of studies and ecological trips.
