The Arasbaran forest in the Arasbaran protected area is the ninth biosphere reserve to be designated in Iran which covers an area of 78,560 ha with a circumference of 134 km. The reserve encompasses elevations from 256 m asl in its northern part to 2896 m asl the highest elevation in its southern part. Due to the high diversity of plants (about 1000 species) and vertebrates, especially the presence of rare species such as Caucasian black grouse ( Lyurus mlokosiewiczi Taczanowskai, 1875), the area has been protected since 1971 and United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) registered it as a wildlife refuge in 1976 (UNESCO 2024).</p><p>Distribution</p><p>West Palaearctic (Iran).</p><p>Distribution in Iran</p><p>East Azarbaijan province.</p><p>Hosts</p><p>Unknown.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D58781FF94FF92FF5EFA97C815848B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
