UNESCO has voted to add the Iraqi marshes into the World Heritage listI
don't have a proper link for this news; please add one if you know.
I have seen a documentary on PBS on the project to restore as much of those
marshes as possible and they have made visible progress. There is also an
incredible article in a back issue of the National Geographic magazine on
the Marsh Arabs. This was published before destruction occured. As far as I
know the Iraqi Marsh was the largest marine estuary in the world at one
time.
