Ark Re-imagined for Sustainable Development

A growing program of events on the water – from heritage festivals and boat races to training workshops and research expeditions – is re-engaging communities with the ecological and cultural heritage of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and the unique environments around them, from white water tributaries to ancient water wheels, irrigated palm orchards to marshlands. The Ark for Iraq Network (AIN), developing out of Ark Re-imagined, is connecting local heritage experts across the country and creating opportunities for Iraqis of all ages and genders to participate.
