On Ashura and Tasua (December 26-27), more then 3750 trees were cut in the Zagros Forests in province Lorestan.
Every year thousands of trees are cut illegally for the bonfires on ashura and tasua.
In 2006 3000 near Tehran were illegally cut near Tehran.
The bonfires and its environmental impact on air pollution in Tehran forced the Tehran Natural Resources Office to press charges against the city.
