Geography
In Kazemi Dam Lake, various islands have been formed that are the habitats of animal species, especially a number of rare ones, including species of birds. Larus are one of the most important species of birds that live in the islands and around the lake, which itself has different species. This lake has surprised and delighted people and environmental experts because the habitat of these creatures is mostly on the shores of large seas and lakes.

Nazargah Island is the largest island in the lake. One of the advantages of these islands is the protection of rare bird species from the danger of being hunted by other animals such as wolves, snakes and foxes. Also, millions of fish are raised in this lake every year and are sent to the markets by fishermen during the fishing season.[https://www.irna.ir/news/81357009/%D8%B5%D9%8A%D8%AF-%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%87%D9%8A-%D8%AF%D8%B1-%D8%AF%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A7%DA%86%D9%87-%D9%BE%D8%B4%D8%AA-%D8%B3%D8%AF-%D8%B4%D9%87%D9%8A%D8%AF-%D9%83%D8%A7%D8%B8%D9%85%D9%8A-%D8%A8%D9%88%D9%83%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%A2%D8%BA%D8%A7%D8%B2-%D8%B4%D8%AF], Irna The Islamic Republic News Agency
