Azerbaijan is known around the world as a region of unique and classical development of mud volcanoes. Of the more than 2,000 known mud volcanoes on Earth, 344 are located in eastern Azerbaijan [1] and in the adjacent Caspian Sea. Most of the mud volcanoes are spread in Baku and Absheron peninsula, and some of them were formed as natural monuments. Azerbaijan can definitely be called the land of mud volcanoes, and these volcanoes are our national and natural wealth. Mud volcanoes play the role of a cost-effective exploration well in the identification of oil and gas fields. In addition, clay from mud volcanoes is considered a mineral. Volcanic mud is also used successfully in the treatment of a number of diseases - diseases of the nervous system, skin and joints. At the same time, volcanoes are closely related to seismic events, so they are important in predicting earthquakes and similar events. In recent years, as a result of increasing anthropogenic impacts on mud volcanoes in Baku and the Absheron Peninsula, their territories have been destroyed, intensive construction work has been carried out, and residential buildings have been built in areas where volcanoes are likely to erupt. For this reason, it was important to organize the protection of mud volcanoes in the country, to take more care of these rare natural phenomena.
