The aim of the present project is to reduce the major threats of these protected wetlands through the establishment of ecosystem management, with a comprehensive management program. During the past decades, due to a severe reduction in water levels and increasing salinity, Urmia Lake has faced with a critical conditions .Many satellite wetlands around the lake damaged from implementation of infrastructure projects, land use changes, pollution and reduced water inflows. These problems, threatened biodiversity of this wetland which has international importance and many advantages to local communities.
