The issues of animal hunting and trade has been a recurrent issue that Nature Iraq survey teams
have faced in the six years that it has been conducting field survey work at different locations
throughout Iraq. Nature Iraq, an Iraqi conservation non-governmental organization, has been
sponsoring the Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) Project in cooperation with the Iraqi Ministry of
Environment and support from the Italian Ministry of Environment. This and other related projects
of Nature Iraq are designed to identify globally, regionally, and nationally important areas for
biological diversity within the country. Surveys are have been conducted in winter and summer since
2005 in southern Iraq, since 2007 in Kurdistan, Northern Iraq and since 2009 in Central & Western
Iraq.
