Wetlands that had existed for thousands of years, and the most important wetlands for bird migrations in the entire Middle East.

When Colin Powell took out those little toy birds and made those little dying-bird calls ("peep! peep!") in front of the UN General Assembly to demonstrate how Saddam was destroying the Iraqi wetlands, I thought to myself, "we have never embarked, as a nation, upon a nobler or more justified enterprise." I am not ashamed to say there was a tear in my eye.
