he second season of explorations and
probing operations in Bampur Castle has
so far led to the discovery of remains of
the two rooms of the barracks, the eastern side
of the entrance gate of the middle court, part of
the southern gap of the barracks yard, and the
discovery of the remains of the walls of the men-
tioned spaces. The Public Relations Office of
the Research Institute of Cultural Heritage and
Tourism (RICHT) quoted the head of the arche-
ology team, Nowzar Heydari, as say-
ing that
Bampur Castle which was for a long time, es-
pecially during the Qajar era, the center of gov-
ernance of Baluchestan, is rectangular in shape
and has been built in the north-south axis. He
further remarked that the castle consists of three
main parts of the southern yard, the middle court
and the ruler residence section.
Heydari pointed to the southern yard (the bar-
racks) as the most expanded part of the castle
and said the entrance gate of the castle opens
to this part and remains of several rooms (25 to
30 rooms) exist in its center and around it and
based on historical documents it used
to be the place for the stationing of
the soldiers. Bampur Castle is lo-
cated in the Jazmourian geograph-
ic-cultural area, 18 km west of
the city of Iranshahr, on the
northwest side of Bampur
city, south of Sistan and
Baluchestan Prov-
ince.

rench photographer Alain Ceccaroli and his
wife, who visited Iran to hold a photogra-
phy exhibition, said they were charmed by
Iranian culture and hospitality. Ceccaroli said that
he plans to return to Iran in the coming months
and enjoy its special attractions. A collection of 20
black-and-white photographs featuring mountain
landscapes was on view at the exhibition titled
‘Entre errance et eternite’ (‘Between Wandering
and Eternity’). The exhibition ran until November
30. conducted an interview with Ceccaroli to get
his opinion about Iran and Iranian culture. Alain
Ceccaroli was born in 1945 in Morocco. He lives
in France. After holding several jobs, he decided
in 1981 to become a professional author photog-
rapher. Though he was self-taught, his meeting in
1982 with Claudine and Jean-Pierre Sudre was
decisive. He devotes himself to his three passions:
Architecture, landscape and the Mediterranean.
His photographic career took off and multiple
commissions and photographic projects started
coming in. He held several exhibitions in countries
such as Switzerland, Belgium, Croatia, Syria and
Greece. Excerpts of the interview follow:
■ How did you select the photographs for the exhibition in Tehran?I was invited by the French Embassy in Iran to
hold an exhibition. The embassy suggested some
themes for the photos and since I knew that the
Iranians are highly interested in nature, I chose
a collection of my photographs about mountains
and trees. I am interested in the visible and invis-
ible traces of history on the landscape. I selected
a collection of 20 works from my visit to the Swiss
Alps in 1985 and 1989. I did not want to increase
the number of displayed photos without paying at-
tention to the theme of the works.■ Do you have a plan to hold another ex-hibition in Iran?It is not clear yet. Right now I want to travel to Iran
again and enjoy its attractions and meet its peo-
ple. Iranians’ hospitality was of great significance
to me and I must confess that I have not seen any
people in the world more hospitable than Iranians
in Isfahan. I will recommend my friends in France
to make a trip to Iran. Since there are so much
propaganda against Iran, I will tell my friends
about my observations in Iran and the reality.

lmost one billion people
live in mountain areas,
and over half the human
population depends on moun-
tains for water, food and clean
energy. However, according to
the United Nations, mountains
are under threat from climate
change, land degradation, over
exploitation and natural disas-
ters, with potentially far-reaching
and devastating consequences,
both for mountain communi-
ties and the rest of the world.
Mountains are early indicators
of climate change and as glob-
al climate continues to warm,
mountain people — some of the
world’s hungriest and poorest —
face even greater struggles to
survive. The rising temperatures
also mean that mountain glaciers
are melting at unprecedented
rates, affecting freshwater sup-
plies downstream for millions
of people.
Mountain commu-
nities, however,
have a wealth
of knowledge
and strate-
gies ac-
cumula ted
over gen-
erations, on
how to adapt
to climate vari-
ability.■ Iran’s Mount Damavand a vic-tim of waste According to a report by Fars
news agency published on Tues-
day on average every week
some 1 ton of waste is collected
from the southern part of the
area as mountain climbers
dump their waste in
the region. Abbas
Mohammadi a
member of
Alpine Club
of Iran told
Fars news
a g e n c y
that climb-
ing mount
D a m a v a n d
should be
r e g u l a t e d .
The waste strew
around in the area
will result in soil erosion,
Mohammadi regretted. Mount
Damavand, an inactive volcano
and the highest peak in the Mid-
dle East, is now being threatened
by land use change and mining
activities as well as waste. The
mountain’s environment is pretty
vulnerable up to an elevation of
4,000 meters while the protected
areas stretch from the elevation
of 4,200 meters to the peak and
unfortunately most human activi-
ties that endanger the environ-
ment, such as overgrazing, land
use change, and mining activi-
ties normally occur at lower ele-
vation. Mount Damavand is the
highest elevation about 5,628
meters. It is an inactive volcanic
mountain which was activated in
Quaternary Period.
It has numerous thermal springs.
The peak of Damavand covers
permanently snow during the en-
tire year.
