Environmental crisis in Iraq
The article discusses the environmental disaster currently facing Iraq as a result of deteriorating ecological conditions. Data from the Strategic Center for Human Rights reveal that 134 species of terrestrial and aquatic wildlife are endangered due to human and environmental factors such as pollution, drought, rising temperatures, desertification, declining water levels in the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and overfishing. The threatened species include mammals like the Persian leopard and the Iraqi wolf, rare birds such as the pallid harrier and the painted stork, as well as endangered fish and plants. There are warnings that more than 48,000 species worldwide are threatened with extinction. The Center has called on the government to take urgent actions to protect biodiversity by enhancing protected areas, strengthening fishery regulations, rehabilitating the marshes, and launching programs to safeguard endangered species—aiming to preserve Iraq's natural diversity and save species at risk of extinction.
