Arasbaran protected area is an upland region consisting of mountains, canyons, very long and steeps lopes, mountain forests and grasslands. Some parts of the region have been affected by human activities. Agriculture and livestock developments have caused decreases in forest and range vegetation cover. Many kinds of plants (about 775 species) were identified in the Arasbaran region, along with some wildlife species.
