Yet, another national catastrophe for Iran

Bakhtgaan Lake is drying up

August 20, 2007

Bakhtgaan lake that has an important and national role in the preservation of natural habitat and environment is on the verge of drying up due to haphazard planning and construction of a few dams and government's negligence. Some parts of the lake have already turned into dried salty soil and the rest of it will follow suit soon.

Committee's Comment: One of the sources of water for this lake is the Pulvaar River that its flow has been stopped by the construction of Sivand Dam, whose lake has already drowned many archaeological sites and now threatens the Mausoleum of Cyrus the Great.

What Was Jiroft

International Committee to Save Pasargad

lost one of its major supporters

Dr. Parviz Varjavand, prominent archeologist, sociologist, writer and one of the cultural figures of Iran passed away in Tehran today, June 9th. He was a reputable and active politician who struggled against cultural and political atrocities of the IRI in many fronts and, consequently, had suffered imprisonment and constant annoyance.

Dr Varjaavand became a staunch supporter of this Committee from the early stages of its formation and acted as a wise advisor and reliable source of knowledge for all members of this Committee.
