Iran seeks international help as a weeks-long wildfire ravages its UNESCO World Heritage Hyrcanian Forests.
Iran has requested international aid to fight a wildfire in the UNESCO-listed Hyrcanian Forests, which has burned for nearly three weeks since starting on October 31 in Mazandaran Province.
The fire, fueled by dry vegetation, rugged terrain, and unseasonably warm weather, has proven difficult to contain.
Turkey will send two water bombers, a helicopter, and eight personnel, with Russia potentially providing additional support.
While officials attribute the blaze to human negligence and claim it was initially controlled, locals and environmentalists say it has burned continuously.
The ancient forest, home to trees up to 500 years old and spanning 660,000 hectares, is a global ecological treasure designated a World Heritage Site in 2019.
Nighttime images show ongoing damage and firefighting efforts.
