The Malayer region was once home to a diverse ecosystem with numerous species, including wildcats, foxes, porcupines, ground jays, bustards, vipers, and various insects.
However, a devastating fire wiped out the entire ecosystem, with no official prevention plan or recovery efforts in place.
Years of drought, erosion, and institutional neglect further worsened the situation, leading to the disappearance of 14 animal species and severe environmental degradation.
Despite the lack of restoration plans, organizations like KOMAZO are now working to protect the remaining ecosystems and prevent similar tragedies in the future.
