All,
If anyone might be interested, there is a very enlightening video in the PBS 
Nature Series available online for viewing. It discusses, with great video and 
a lot of avian footage, with some real rarities, the effort to restore the vast 
marshes of southern Iraq that were virtually eliminated under the Sadam regime. 
The scale that these marshes were trained was tragic to see. Very worthwhile 
video, which also goes into some detail the security measures that were 
necessary for the very small crew of film makers to accomplish this.
