Fall of Eden

Article Abstract:

Madan, a small town in Iraq, which was once a lush marshland and regarded as the site of the Garden of Eden, has turned into an arid desert. Environmental experts feel that time is running short to replenish the marshes with fresh wildlife, which used to supply two thirds of fish and 40% of the shrimps caught of Kuwait.
