It is fitting as the United Nations has designated 2010 as the International Year of Biodiversity that Iraq prepares and issues its first comprehensive report on the biological diversity of the country. Environmental issues such as biodiversity have not played a large part in the recent public discourse in Iraq, which to a greater extent has been occupied with security and reconstruction, but environmental concerns represent a huge challenge within Iraq that are greatly complicating the development of the country. These issues concentrate around water resource management; declines in biodiversity; waste management; oil development and industrial pollution and environmental impacts caused by decades of war and conflict.
