Situated in south of Iran, specifically on and near the island of Qeshm in the Persian Gulf, these forests are a testament to the beauty of the nature.
The dominant plant in these forests is the Avicennia marina, referred to as the ‘hara’ or ‘harra’ tree by the locals.
Spanning an area of 7,500 hectares, these floating forests create a lush green belt along the northwestern shores of Qeshm.
As a national protected area and an internationally recognized UNESCO biosphere reserve, the Hara forests hold significant ecological value.
With a lifespan around 30 to 40 million years, the evergreen mangrove forests of Qeshm Island stand as a symbol of enduring beauty and ecological importance.
