Abstract
The task of preserving the Iraqi environment, improving its properties, solving its problems, and harmonizing with its national, regional, and international requirements is one of the most important challenges facing Iraq. The environment in Iraq suffers from many problems caused by natural and human factors as well as the wrong policies of previous governments, which resulted in several wars and international sanctions and unfair and abhorrent economic blockade. All these factors have affected the environment, and the restoration of the former environment needs to combine the efforts of the citizens and the government with the development of sophisticated and deliberate strategies [1].
