Currently, 11.8% of Iran’s land is designated as protected areas, reflecting a significant expansion over recent decades. The establishment of these zones began in 1956 with the approval of the Hunting Association Law and evolved into the foundation of the Department of Environment in 1972, followed by more comprehensive environmental legislation. Today, protected areas in Iran fall into four major categories: national parks, natural monuments, wildlife refuges, and protected zones. Additionally, Iran hosts internationally recognized sites, including Ramsar wetlands and biosphere reserves. Despite remarkable progress, ongoing challenges such as resource limitations, habitat degradation, and limited public involvement underline the need for innovative management, enhanced governance, and stronger international cooperation to ensure long-term sustainability.
