|
The forest areas of Sistan Va Baluchestan province are scanty and not at all dense like the forests of the north and west of Iran. The forests of this vicinity are scattered around the elevated areas, springs and along the river banks. Near Konarak in the Chabahar region are traces of forests with tamarisk and the Indian fig trees.
These are sparse and on the decrease due to environmental conditions and soil erosion. But in the borderline area in the vicinity of the Taftan and Panj Angosht Mountain Ranges the scene changes because of climatic conditions. Various species of trees can be found here such as the lote tree, wild almonds, pistachio, Indian fig, Indian tamarind, jasmine, oleander and ...
These forests extend over an area of 1.5 million hectares throughout the province and are the habitat of different wildlife. |
