Curtis Richardson talks about recent findings on the ecological condition of the Iraqi marshes with CBC radio host Mary Lou Finlay during a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio interview.  An Arab marsh culture survived in the wetlands near the Tigris and Euphrates for over 5,000 years until Saddam Husseins's regime drained the marshes.  DUWC is collaborating in a USAID-sponsored program to restore the marshes. Recent studies, published in the February 25, 2005 issue of Science, show the marshes sustained terrible damage, but there is also hope for restoration.
