Hara forest (Avicennia marina Mangrove), Qeshm Island, Iran
The mangroves of Qeshm Island are uniquely adapted to their surroundings, which are characterized by searing heat, little rainfall, and high salinity. Dominated by a single species, Avicennia marina, the Qeshm mangroves experience some of the largest air and water temperature swings of any mangrove ecosystem in the world. The forest stretches around 7,500 hectors, and is filled with many narrow tidal channels. You can take ferry to visit different parts of this forest. In 1972 the Hara Protected Area (part of UNESCO's Hara Biosphere Reserve) was established to preserve suitable conditions for the growth and maintenance of the forest.

جنگلهای حرا-جزیره قشم-بهمراه راهنمای محلی به نام عادل شاه
In this video, the local guide called Adel Shah is describing Haara or Mangrove trees.These trees can absorb 80% of salt of the sea water and separate the salt from the water and give back drinking water. on the leaves in his hand you can see the salt separated by the roots. This tree is 35 million years old in the coastal regions of Persian Gulf in Iran.Its fruit is very sweet although it grows in salty water. in high tide or high water you can see the roots coming out of the water.the older they get, the less hollow their trunk become. The best time to see them is when the sea is at the highest level because very easily you can go through all of canals of this unbelievable forest and reach different parts of the forest by boat.the only animal in this forest is a kind of Rat come from India by ships carried goods when ships went to India and back.
