WCC 2020 Res 017 - Activity Report

Lake Marmara and Gediz Delta are vital wetland ecosystems and Key Biodiversity Areas in Türkiye, including migratory birds such as flamingos and other threatened wetland species. These areas are critical for maintaining biodiversity and providing ecological services, including water purification and flood control. However, both ecosystems face significant threats from anthropogenic activities, including agricultural development and industrial projects. In response, we have actively engaged in legal actions to protect these areas, focusing on preserving their natural water flows and preventing harmful developments.
