A documentary on the Lake Urmia during its time of glory. It is sad to see how this beautiful lake has turned to a salt desert.
Note: "Urmia" used to be called "Rezaiyeh" during the Pahlavi Dynasty.
........................................

Lake Urmia situated between East Azerbaijan and West Azerbaijan provinces in Iran. It is the largest lake in the Middle East and THE SECOND LARGEST salt water lake in the world. Registered as Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO and listed as a wetland of international importance under the 1971 Ramsar Convention, the Urmia Lake holds one of the world's richest bio-diversity. More than 210 species of birds such as flamingos, pelicans, spoonbills, and gulls, as well as many species of reptiles, amphibians, mammals such as yellow deer inhabit the lake and surrounding.

  • این، ویدئوی فیلمی است از سریال در گذشته معروف آمریکائی به نام «دنیای وحشی» از دکتر مارلین پرکینز که در هر فیلم در باره جانوران کشوری و منطقه ای رپرتاژ میداد. این فیلم که تیترش هم «بازگشت فلامینگو ها به رضائیه» است و اواسط دهه 1970 میلادی تولید شده،، بیشتر از خود دریاچه ارومیه، درباره فلامینگوهای معروف دریاچه است که هر بهار به این دریاچه برمیگردند (درست ترش: برمیگشتند) بدون آنکه کسی بداند از کجا میایند.

  • Produced in 1975.

  • I recently visited the Lake. It is presently divided into two separate lakes which unfortunately expedites the evaporation. Am not sure who was responsible for this road which goes across (instead of an elevated bridge. The lake still maintains its natural beauty.Did not see any flamingos.ppakdaman
