The preparation process of a management plan requires consideration of the values of the wetland and otter species. In addition, threats to this valuable species (otters), as well as the capacities and potentials existing in the main respective bodies and groups to manage the wetlands must be recognized, thoroughly, and paid attention to. In the preparation process of a management plan in the Parishan lake, training workshops were carried out to increase the teachers' awareness level and sensitization, non-governmental organization (NGOs), and local communities between 2010 and 2011. Similar workshops were also carried out for the park rangers and people local to villages living around the Parishan lake.
