Thank you for contributing to Kurdistan's biodiversity record. Please only submit photos you've personally taken within the Kurdistan Region. Tell us the species if you know it — if not, our team will help identify it. For location, a general area is fine; you don't need exact coordinates, especially for sensitive or endangered species. All submissions are reviewed by our team before appearing on the site.
