Project Location:Chaharmahalobakhtiari-Kohrang(Lat/Long:32.343692-50.778809)
Project background:

As part of SGP global initiative on ICCAs (indigenous community conserved areas), SGP has approved this project with the Council of Bakhtiati Mobile Tribe. Although the tribe is one of the major tribes in Iran, it lacked modern institutions and therefore was not considered an official entity by the government and was treated as individual herders. Recently, through the Joint efforts of CENESTA with support from IUCN CEESP and GEF SGP under the ICCA project Bakhtiari Confederacy has recently been formed which is the grantee of this project (133 A) for the field work in the summer grounding of the Tamouleh Tribe as part of the Bakhtiari Confederac. CENESTA will continue to support the group on policy discussions and documentation (133 B).
