Gateway Pundit reports on an amazing restoration effort going on in Southern Iraq. The cradle of civilization is being reborn.
Read about it here.
Civilization was born [many say] in the marshlands of Southern Iraq. There elements of the local culture trace back nearly six millenia. Saddam tried to destroy the inhabitants of this region and the environment that sustained them. That effort came to an end with the American invasion and now restoration of both the culture and the environment is well under way. It is an amazing success story that should be recognized and applauded everywhere, and, notably, the local inhabitants are doing much of the restoration themselves. Resilient people, these.
The BBC report on marshland restoration is here. The attached UNEP photos show the extent of reclamation since 2003. The dark areas are reflooded.
