Iran has launched its first national bird-watching festival in the capital of Tehran in an attempt to raise public awareness about native Persian birds.
The country's first bird-watching event was launched in Sa'd Abad cultural complex on Saturday, seeking to attract fans and encourage individuals to take part in different specialized areas of birding.
Organizers of the event are also holding Iran's ecotourism capacities exhibition and related digital photography competitions on the sideline of bird-watching festival.
Workshops have also been organized in order to help participants shape a better perception of bird-watching.
Participants and visitors will also be able to take part in the accompanying conferences on the role of the public in the development of the practice, the role birds play in the environment and international Ornithology experiences.
The one-day event has been organized through joint efforts by the country's National Committee of Ecotourism, the Tourism Department of Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicraft and Tourism Organization (ICHHTO) and Avayeh Tabi'at Institute.
According to an official at the Department of Environment, Iran has 517 species of endemic birds that can be introduced to the public in order to attract ecotourists.
