Green No-Hunting Area

The Green No-Hunting Area lies in the north of Selseleh County in Lorestan Province. Covering about 70,000 hectares, it takes in a large part of the mountain ecosystem of this region. It is bordered by Nahavand County to the north, Borujerd to the east and Delfan to the west, and reaches the boundary of Selseleh County in the south. Its mountain landscapes and valuable natural resources have made Green one of the important wildlife habitats in this part of the Zagros.

The vegetation of the area includes species such as oak, hawthorn and wild pear, along with rangeland plants such as wild shallot (musir). The habitat is also home to animals such as bears, wolves, foxes and hyenas. Leopards are mentioned in past reports, but their present existence cannot be confirmed. The springs and water sources in the Green highlands also feed rivers and supply water to the surrounding farmland, adding to the natural importance of the area.

To reach the slopes of Green, you can use routes around Alashtar, Borujerd and Nahavand. However, because the area is so large, it is best to decide on your exact destination before setting out. Spring and summer, especially when the pastures are green and access to the highlands is easier, are the better times for nature tourism here. When visiting, avoid hunting, lighting fires in vegetation, leaving litter and disturbing animals, so that the natural environment is not harmed.
