Iran’s Miankaleh wildlife sanctuary: A haven for migratory birds

Every winter, thousands of flamingos and various migratory bird species make their way to Miankaleh Lagoon in Mazandaran province, northern Iran.

Traveling long distances from northern latitudes, the birds seek refuge in this internationally recognized sanctuary, one of the 600 biosphere reserves worldwide.

During each migration season, approximately 70,000 to 80,000 flamingos and other birds flock to Miankaleh and nearby wetlands.

The majestic visitors grace the region from winter until early spring.
