In Rostam Abad community, an oasis in southeastern Iran, mud dunes tend to be encroaching on properties and yards.

The eastern area of Rostam Abad Village, exactly where Kobra Palangi’s families everyday lives, the terrain will be sieged by moving forward mud dunes. “If we do not halt the sand activity, my go steady hands would be stuck in the dunes,” Kobra says worriedly. Rostam Abad Village regarded most oases spread inside the easterly section of Kerman Province in southeast Iran.
During the last year or two, unmatched droughts, mainly because of temperature change, have now been a severe risk into community. These droughts, in addition to over-grazing, very poor secure administration and inadequate vegetation, indicate that this region encounters huge probabilities of soil corrosion and mud dune encroachment.
