Restoring springs for wildlife

Many countries in the Middle East, including Iran, are experiencing a tough drought. Therefore, different wildlife species are expected to confront difficult summer, because many springs will have less water, if not at all. Therefore, careful management of existing springs is crucial to cope with the drought.

10 springs are aimed to be restored in Tandoureh in order to ensure a stable water source for the wildlife in the upcoming hot summer. This will provide water for Persian leopards and their prey. Accordingly, cement is carried to higher elevations on horseback. Then, the dripping water was controlled to minimize leakage. Metal plates are used to build a canal, leading the water from rocks into a small pool, or a waterhole. Our water restoration efforts are supported by many individual donors.
