In July 2015 a campaign named "My heart beats for Iran's heritage" was established for the protection of Iran human heritage and culture by tourist guides, environmentalists and those interested in Iran history and culture. So Arasbaran Travel company arranged a trip to Badab-e Surt with the aim of environment purgation, interpretive, warning signs Installation and route construction. Badab-e Surt is a natural site in Mazandaran Province in northern Iran comprises a range of stepped travertine terrace formations that has been created over thousands of years as flowing water from two mineral hot springs cooled and deposited carbonate minerals on the mountainside. Badab Soort's springs are two distinct mineral springs with different natural characteristics, located at 1,840 meters (6,040 ft) above sea level. The first spring contains very salty water that gathers in a small natural pool; its water is considered to have medicinal properties, especially as a cure for rheumatism and some types of skin diseases and skin conditions. The second spring has a sour taste and is predominately orange mainly due to the large iron oxide sediments at its outlet. As a result, over the course of thousands of years the water from these two springs emanating from the mountain range have combined and resulted in a number of orange, red and yellow-colored pools shaped as a naturally formed staircase. The surrounding vegetation to the north consists of pine forests while to the east it mainly consists of short trees and shrubs; and rock quarries can be seen to the west of the site. The best time to visit the area is undoubtedly during either sunrise or sunset when the sun’s orange reflection blends in perfectly with the colored spring. Much like many other natural and artificial landmarks in Iran, the Badab Soort Spring is in danger of gradual erosion and eventual demise. Due to lack of tourists’ awareness, lack of fences, guard and even notice board these springs are at risk of total destruction. In this trip in order to avoid damaging the springs, only three members of the campaign cleaned them out with bare feet those who didn't respect the springs and entered with shoes were called up and they were also informed of the importance of these rocks and live springs. After purgation next to this landscape and the path built for passing, a human loop was created. Eventually the campaign banner with the aim of campaign introduction and Badab-e Surt springs conservation was displayed. Sponsors and supporters of the campaign include Arasbaran Tourism Company, the Agricultural Bank, Culture and Nature Club, the Department of Education and Public Participation in Environmental Protection Agency, the National Committee of Nature, Environment and Sustainable Development Office of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Convention on tourist guides in 2017 and Eco-Safari Group.
