THE MESOPOTAMIAN MARSHES ...A CALL IN THE WILD

The project underway to reclaim the Mesopotamian Marshes in southern Iraq must be among the most important expressions of human optimism in history. These glorious wetlands destroyed by Saddam in the craziness of the 90s spurred on by the war on his own people and Iran are certainly deserving of our attention and care. They are an essential refuge for birds, fish, amphibians and people. They are a precious world resource. in time these wetlands will be among the greatest natural attractions for ecotourism in existence, a treasure for all of us and an incentive for stability among the Iraqis who are due for a break.
