World Cleanup Day: Waterkeepers Iraq Leads Second Cleanup Campaign at Dukan Lake's Collapsed Caves Island

On World Cleanup Day, we (Waterkeepers Iraq, Kurdistan) organized our second cleanup campaign as part of the Empowering Kurdistan for Waterway Conservation and Environmental Advocacy! to protect water resources and the environment at the island of collapsed caves in Dukan Lake.
Around 40 volunteers cleaned the island, collected plastic, glass, and other waste, and left the area spotless. After the cleanup, the volunteers enjoyed an unforgettable time with music, swimming, and food.
We want to thank the volunteers, the Experience Wilderness Club, Mr. Wahab, and Mr. Haroon as the captains of our Tarada and other boats who volunteered and participated with great enthusiasm. We are proud of you.
