The “Eden Again” Project

The Iraq Foundation sponsored the creation of the Eden Again project in 2003. Eden Again worked towards the restoration of the southern marshes which were the target of a campaign by the Iraqi government in the early to mid nineties. The environmental and military campaign desecrated the marshlands, destroyed the environment, burnt villages, and drove hundreds of thousands of the indigenous ma’dan population into external exile or internal displacement. This project continues as part of Nature Iraq, a separate environmental Iraqi NGO, and remains significant for its human, environmental and historical impact.
