Luckless Lake

The plateau of Iran, an area as wide as 2500000 square kilometers is a pronounced example of nature's mechanism for stability, a dispute over life, an effort to perceive the methods of living, and an agony for survival. The wetlands which occupy almost 41000 square kilometers of this plateau, play a major role in gathering the surface water of this dry stretch. These watersheds have been fed through temporary sources of water for thousands of years and this reason has led to a somewhat permanent biological system in the dry and wet eras. Parallel to the land's existence, humans concomitantly accompanied nature along with its rules from thousands of years ago. Bakhtegan Wetland which is the second largest fading watershed After Urmia Lake has been a host for the "ChaharRahi" nomads for 800 years in this region. The nomads who migrate from the height of "Korehi" in the cold weather to the central islands in the watershed of Bakhtegan and leave the rough but yet phenomenal nature of this area for their summer quarters when the heat comes along.
Similar to all the watersheds of Iran, Bakhtegan wetland has been a victim of the drought and it is deteriorating. Although the situation there is somehow that there are no hopes for its survival. Like the Urmia Lake this old homeland, in the past 15 years, had no chance of rehabilitating its departed system. And now, having passed its former self it is forming a new body. Nature will form a new life and will continue with its cycle. Meanwhile, humans will suffer a great deal. The beings who have no power compared to nature will be subjected to watching the changes they have induced in this ancient organism without having a solution for its destruction.
Sooner or later, Bakhtegan ecosystem will be a Badland. Badland in the sense that probably only a few of its local and non-local species will have the ability to cope with the new characteristics of the new land, and fewer will have the ability to stand. The residents of the islands and the suburbs will face new existential challenges on a daily basis. And the nomads, considering the major changes to their ancient lifestyle will face a difficult time every day and will be eventually forced to leave their motherland. The land in its new form will severely react to the mess; from wild sandstorms to destruction of climate and reduction of the humidity. From what has been seen, it seems that human beings have not recognized the importance of understanding nature's language and there is no hope of them trying to make any mutual connection to it. This is where the question of "Why is it important to study the land's history for humans to be able to survive?" remains without an answer.
