According to the importance of ecological conditions of Shirinsoo Wetland for resident birds, especially non breeding migratory species a few studies have been conducted in this area in the Iran, in this study we review the role and value of ecosystem and compare the ecological parameters of wetland with Birdlife International criteria for feasibility to introduced this habitat in the IBAs during 2008-2009.
