FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda ‘From Frost to Desert Heat’ hosted many Iranian and international scholars including Mr. Eric Salmgren von Schantz of Star Peace Project and Mr. Alireza Salehipour of the Geological Survey of Iran.
Organized in collaboration with the Embassy of Sweden in Tehran, the event also marked the International Day for Biological Diversity and the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development.
Participants discussed various topics such as the importance of biological and cultural diversity, deserts of Iran, eco tourism and the significance of Sven Hedin’s in Asia and Iran.
Sven Hedin (1865-1952) spent almost 20 years on the Asian soil, carrying out or leading expeditions into different regions of the continent. He wrote some 65 books and voluminous scientific reports as well as thousands of scholarly and political papers.
Although Hedin never held any official or academic position, he was considered as an expert on Iran by the mid-1880s.
He climbed and closely studied Mount Damavand, and mapped the great basins of Iran’s eastern areas with all their salt lakes and deserts.
Hedin’s scientific and financial estate was bequeathed to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in the name of the Sven Hedin Foundation.
The estate is administered by the National Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm, which, together with the city’s Museum of Natural History houses most of his ethnographic, archeological, and natural science collections.
