Kabir Kouh Protected Area is a nature conservatory in Darreh Shahr and Badreh counties, Ilam Province, Iran.

Established in October 2001, it covers an area of 179 km2 (69 sq mi) on the northern side of Kabir Kouh range between the elevations of 950 and 2790m.

Its lithology is generally composed of sedimentary rocks and this has played an important role in the emergence and evolution of vegetation and the biodiversity of the region and the formation of wildlife habitats.

The geological units and existing deposits, due to lateral pressures on both sides of the northeastern and southwest, have become folded into a set of anti-knives.

[2] Due to its special rocky landscape, steep slopes and high cliffs, the area is home to a diverse range of inhabitants.
