Wetland City
[edit]In 2022, the city of Varzaneh was selected as the first wetland city in Iran at the 14th Ramsar Convention. This event occurred after several years of studying the city and the dimensions of environmental protection carried out by various groups and the municipality. In Geneva, Switzerland, the then mayor, Dr. Hamed Akhgar, received this certificate. The issue of the Gavkhuni International Wetland, which is the most important wetland in the central plateau of Iran, has been considered as a fundamental strategy for wetland protection.
