description Hammar Marshes Overview
The Hammar Marshes are a significant wetland area located within Iraq, situated along the Euphrates River. Once encompassing over 2,800 square kilometers, this alluvial marsh ecosystem was dramatically reduced due to drainage efforts in the 1990s. Designated as a restored UNESCO World Heritage site, it represents an important remnant of Mesopotamian wetlands and is vital for biodiversity conservation and scientific study. Researchers, ecologists, and those interested in wetland restoration projects benefit from its preservation.
