Mount Damavand Conservation Society

Damavand Mountain has stood witness to all of the development that has taken place on the Iranian Plateau since ancient times. The mountain was expected to be forever present for future generations. Regrettably, Damavand Mountain has long experienced negligence, abuse, over-utilization and intentional and unintentional destruction – some of the effects of which are beyond restoration.

Worried mountaineers and Damavand Mountain friends found it necessary to form the Damavand Mountain Protectors Society, a non-profit non-governmental organization. This society’s mission is to help bring Damavand Mountain’s natural environments up to the international standards.
