As a biodiversity hot-spot there are many locally as well as regionally important and threatened species (plants, birds, animals, invertebrates) in the site (IUCN, 2019). Brown bear, grey wolf, Caspian red deer, roe deer and wild boar are all part of the fauna in the region (Soofi et. al, 2018). Furthermore, the Hyrcanian Region lies along an important migratory route for birds (Zarandian et al., 2015).
