الأثار البيئية للمحميات الطبيعية في حفظ التنوع الأحيائي في الأهوار العراقية

الملخص EN

The research is based on the importance of converting the ecosystems of the Iraqi Marshlands as natural reserves to protect their biodiversity.

This can be achieved through the knowledge of the concepts of natural reserves, biological diversity, and the environmental importance of the marshes is because they contain biological diversity which is being depleted as a result of indiscriminate extermination processes through overhunting of rare and endangered species, and the habitat recession of many biological species to shrink the areas of the marshes after draining.

Additionally, the substitutions of invasive and introduced species at the expense of national species contributed to the great change in the prevailing biological community, let alone the unsustainable use of the water resource and its pollution.

The current research also highlighted the environmental importance of the marshes being a vital resource for water, genetic genes, and for many cultural, cultural and religious products, values, and other organizational services.
