Dehno Wetland

Dehno Wetland lies 20 kilometres northwest of Borujen, at the downstream end of the catchment basin of the Faradonbeh and Sefiddasht plains. It is regarded as one of the region's most valuable natural tourism assets and has always held special importance for the people of the surrounding towns and villages. Its distinctive geographic setting makes it an appealing destination for travellers and nature lovers.

In the Behesht-Abad area, there is only one major wetland, Dehno Wetland, which, together with several seasonal waterlogged areas, is the most important wetland in the area. The front section of the wetland, known as Marghzar (the meadow), has almost dried up. However, the wetland itself (the Sarab, or spring-fed head of the wetland) can still be of great value as a recreation area, thanks to its proximity to the towns of Borujen, Gandoman, Shahrekord and Boldaji, and the existing access routes.

In recent years, an abnormal growth of aquatic macrophyte plants has spread through the wetland and now covers it completely. This has even begun to threaten the aquatic life living in the wetland. For this reason, recreational use of the wetland requires special protection and care to prevent damage to this valuable ecosystem. Lying at the foot of a mountain, the wetland has a beautiful landscape, and when the water level is high it is a habitat for migratory birds such as the greater flamingo, egrets, herons, ducks and waterfowl.
