Barmshir Wetland

Barmshir Wetland lies in the village of Barmshir, in Kohgiluyeh County. It is a valuable natural habitat in the south of Iran and plays an important role in preserving the region's biodiversity. Despite its modest size, the wetland is a gathering place for many species of waterbirds and migratory birds, which travel to the area at certain times of the year and have made it an important birdwatching site. Besides birds, other animal and plant species live in this habitat and help maintain the ecological balance of the region.

Thanks to its natural features and particular climate, the wetland is well suited to aquatic and semi-aquatic plants. These form its vegetation cover and play an important role in filtering the water and keeping it clean. Barmshir Wetland is also a source of water and moisture for the surrounding areas and has a positive effect on the environment around it. Local people use the wetland for farming and to earn a living, which shows how important it is in both the human and natural life of the region.

Although it may be unknown to many Iranians, the wetland covers an area of about 5,000 square metres, with a length of about 150 metres and a width of roughly 50 metres. It lies 2 kilometres south of the village of Barmshir and can be reached from the Patāveh–Dehdasht road. Before the Dokhtar junction, a side road runs along the south of the Magarmun River to the wetland, making a visit possible. Besides its environmental value, Barmshir Wetland is a scenic natural attraction, and its peaceful atmosphere and beautiful views give it a special place among nature lovers and local travellers. It gives visitors the chance to spend time in an unspoiled natural setting, get to know the wildlife and landscapes of southern Iran up close, and enjoy moments of calm and pleasure.
