Hyrcanian Forests

The Hyrcanian Project is a recent initiative in our series of interactive events aimed at highlighting the significance of the Hyrcanian forests, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019. These ancient forests, dating back to the Paleozoic Era, serve as critical habitats for numerous endangered plant and animal species making their conservation essential. Our project involves conducting research on the unique ecosystem of the Hyrcanian forests, identifying the threats they face, and exploring activities that jeopardize their survival. The outcomes of our research are creatively presented through various artistic works in interactive formats. Each segment of the Hyrcanian series emphasizes different facets of these forests, aiming to engage the audience’s senses—sight, hearing, touch, and smell. By utilizing art as a universal medium of communication, we seek to enhance the impact of our message and foster a deeper connection with the audience.
