TURKEY

Why travel in TURKEY

The wildlife of Turkey is diverse, due to its wide variety of habitats and unique position between 3 continents and 3 seas. Turkish montane forests face major threats to their genetic diversity associated with over-exploitation, forest fragmentation, air pollution, and global climatic change. The European Environment Agency has identified three biogeographic regions in Turkey, the Black Sea, Mediterranean and Anatolian regions, which should be protected under the Berne Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats.
