The Zagros Mountains are located in western Iran, spanning about 1,500 km from northwestern Iran to southeastern Turkey. They are known for their rich biodiversity, ancient history with evidence of human settlements dating back to the Stone Age, and their importance as a barrier separating the Iranian plateau from Mesopotamia. The mountains have also been a source of various mineral resources and have played a crucial role in shaping the region's cultural and environmental landscapes.
In Iran and Turkey, the Zagros and Taurus mountains respectively surround the Fertile Crescent.
