Mohebi Pour, 39, lives in Sari, the provincial capital of Mazandaran and the former capital of Iran. The city is the largest in the province, located between the Alborz mountains and the Caspian Sea and is home to the Miankaleh lagoon, a UNESCO biosphere reserve.
For five years, he has photographed the Miankaleh lagoon. The reserve attracts tens of thousands of migratory birds each year. Migratory birds in the lagoon include flamingos, swans, pelicans, grey heron, pheasant and Eurasian teal. Many are escaping harsh winters in Siberia.

The winners of the 2022 Environmental Photographer of the Year are today announced. The competition, launched by CIWEM and WaterBear and presented by Nikon in association
with MPB and supported by Arup, attracted thousands of online submissions from over 159
countries.
The EPOTY team is a huge fan of the work that MPB does in the space of circularity and extending the lifespan of your camera kit. To learn a bit more about how that all works, we caught up with Rachel Thompson, VP of Sustainability.
We are extremely pleased to welcome MPB as an associate partner on the Environmental Photographer of the Year 2023 competition!
