Golestan Forest, located in northern Iran, is a stunning and biodiverse natural wonder that is often referred to as the “Amazon of Iran.” Covering an area of over 90,000 hectares, the forest is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species, many of which are unique to the region.
The forest is characterized by its lush greenery, towering trees, and crystal-clear streams that meander through the landscape. One of the most iconic features of Golestan Forest is its ancient trees, some of which are estimated to be over 500 years old. These majestic trees provide a habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, including bears, wolves, leopards, and numerous species of birds.
Unfortunately, Golestan Forest is facing threats from deforestation, climate change, and illegal logging, which are putting the delicate ecosystem at risk. Conservation efforts are underway to protect the forest and its inhabitants, including the establishment of protected areas and the implementation of sustainable forestry practices.
Overall, Golestan Forest is a place where one can truly appreciate the wonders of the natural world and the importance of preserving our planet for future generations.
