Fire in Karkheh National Park in southern Iran raging again

A large part of the forests in the Karkheh National Park in Iran’s southern province of Khuzestan are burning in fire. 

Firefighters were on the scene on Tuesday to put out the fire.

The bushfire happened days firefighters and park rangers contained the flames in the national park in after an hours-long struggle on Thursday.

Drought, human factors, burning of wheat fields by farmers are the main causes of fire in the Karkheh forests.

The Karkheh National Park is the main habitat of the Persian yellow deer.
