This paper will address the emergence of a new environmental movement among Iranians in presently and their attempts to acknowledge numerous environmental concerns inside Iran through social media, personal weblogs or attending protests to focus the attention of the government the issue, for example to prevent the drought of the Lake Urmia in the North West of Iran. Further, the paper will conclude that the lack of support and commitment of the Iranian government in a state where more than 80% of the country is run by the public sector, has failed to prevent numerous environmental problems. In order to address such issues, small or larger nonprofit organizations have been established in Iran in the past decade but in order to implement the impact in society in a way that becomes a significant Indicated of daily lives of Iranians, the government sector and the non-government have been colliding more than cooperating. Although during the presidency of Mr. Mohammad Khatami, the government’s efforts have been somewhat tangible, and the outlook somewhat optimistic but gotten worse since 2005. The Iranian environmental law was formed in 1971 but here I address a few examples of the violation of environmental cases that have occurred in the past ten years and that have been left strategically unmanaged. These examples deal mainly with the destruction of forests, the drying-up of various rivers and lakes, the killing of protected species, and air pollution in big cities such as Tehran. The paper also includes the case of the drought of Lake Urmia where the government not only did not take any insert “remedial” action to address the issue, but also imprisoned thirty of the local activists in the region. In conclusion, with the growth of the environmental movement in the world Iran needs to at least make the effort on a par with some other developing countries in the region but as long as the attention domestically and internationally is concentrated on nuclear programs, the ecosystem issues are slowly being pushed to the side and that in the long term will affect not only Iran, but other countries in the region.
