Wildlife skills workshop for game-wardens in Golestan National Park

At the last days of October 2010? A wildlife skills workshop was held in Golestan National Park for the Department of Environment game-wardens.

Mohamad soofi, a member of the Plan for the land society, who had the responsibility of organizing the workshop, told us about the reasons of choosing that park as the host of this workshop:
The Golestan National Park is the best of National Parks of Iran for it’s rich biodiversity and because of its vast. It has the most number of plant and animal species among protected areas of Iran. Today, this park faces many threats such as illegal hunting and problems caused by the road which passes through the park. Hence, we in Plan for the Land Society tried to illustrate the ecologic relations between plants and animals and their importance to the game-wardens to encourage them in better protection of this park.
For this reason, more than 90 percent of the park game-wardens attended.
In this workshop, topics such as mammal’s ecological relationships, insects, plants and mushrooms of Golestan National Park were presented that were highly welcomed by the game-wardens. In future, training programs of this kind with new topics will be held for game-wardens of Golestan National Park.
