The salting of feathers and wings of white pelicans in Lake Urmia has become a problem for this animal species.

These sediments double the weight of the pelicans and because of this they cannot fly and this may lead to their gradual death.

🔸 In a video originating from 7 Mahar and published on the Urmia Lake user account, it can be seen that two pelicans are salted in the presence of several district officials.

In the last few days, at least one more pelican was found with a similar problem in Lake Urmia.
