Mesopotamian Summer is being held in support of the New Eden Project ant its goal of restoring the Southern Marshes of Mesopotamia - http://www.edenagain.org - once rich and fertile marshes that have been decimated over the past tweny some years - through a combination of Saddam Hussein's drainage schemes - devised to destroy the sustainable communities of Marsh Arabs - and massive upstream dam projects - in Tureky, Syrian and central and northern Iraq.

The marshland area was the home of the cradle of civilization - going back to Sumerian' times, with its great cities such as 'Ur - and have hosted a sustainable water-based culture that stretches back more than 7,500 years.
