A new photo series has captured the dramatic environmental decline of the world’s largest lake, the Caspian Sea, which spans five countries, including Russia and Iran. The images, taken by award-winning photographers, show the stark reality of the lake’s shrinking coastline, polluted waters, and the impact of human activity on local wildlife.
Environmental scientists have long warned that the Caspian Sea, a crucial hub for biodiversity and local economies, is in danger due to a combination of climate change, pollution, and unsustainable fishing practices. The lake has seen a significant drop in water levels in recent years, with some areas drying up completely.
The photo series, which will be featured in an upcoming environmental documentary, serves as a visual reminder of the urgent need for conservation efforts. Experts are calling on the nations surrounding the lake to take immediate action to reverse the damage and protect this vital ecosystem from further degradation.
These photographs offer a sobering glimpse into the future of our planet if steps are not taken to address environmental destruction and mitigate climate change’s effects on natural resources
