Miankaleh, Biosphere reserve in Mazandaran Province, Iran

The Miankaleh Peninsula extends 48 kilometers into the Caspian Sea, featuring wetlands, forests, and coastal areas that support numerous plant and animal species.

The site received its designation as a Ramsar Wetland in 1975, encompassing 68,000 hectares of protected land between Gorgan Bay and the Caspian Sea.

Four traditional villages within the peninsula maintain sustainable fishing practices and natural resource management methods passed down through generations.

The peninsula contains an ecological research station where scientists monitor migratory birds and conduct studies on marine ecosystems throughout the year.

The area participates in the Siberian Tiger Introduction Project, aiming to restore large feline populations in the region through careful conservation efforts.
