"It is true preaching, the nature of the country, the soil, the living creatures. "

What was the reason why pushes you to build this association when working as a faculty member in Stanford in America?]]

I have been in the US disaster since I readBiology and antropology at Harvard University as a breakthrough. But I always wanted to research and protect the nature of the East Anatolia, especially when I connected with passion of Turkey. I am unable to work in Nepal from Utah to Ethiopia from Costa Rica to Nepal on four sides of the world. In particular, I had been doing in 2001 and I wanted to explore types of butterflies that we have expressed science in East Anatolia, since I wanted to research and do the biological diversity of East Anatolia. We discovered types of butterflies in just three weeks, but about half of the places where these butterfly types are located in advance of the plants, had been destroyed because of excessive grass. Perhaps that’s why no other types of butterflies have been discovered without being discovered. I decided to do that research trip to do something to protect the nature of East Anatolia. [

The opportunity to conduct biodiversity research and nature protection projects in Eastern Anatolia, I met my doctor'ssis in August 2003. California- Christbased Foundation, who has been working in nature protection and ecological research and support nature projects protection at high points of the world’s biodiversity, was contacted with me on the advice of the New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society. Christensen Foundation is a foundation that supports organizations in Mexico, Papua New Guinea, Turkey, East Africa and Central Asia, where cultural, biological wealth is high, and abroad for the protection of local cultures and natural resources, traditional human-to-culture relations. They were interested in Turkey with three biodiversity hot spots in the world.

I told them that the nature of Eastern Anatolia is very little researched, styles of nature tourism is very rich, but it is not effective protection and effective environmental education. In the summer of 2003 we made a tour of Eastern Black Sea and Eastern Anatolia. We were observing natural areas, local cultures, human nature relations, how biological diversity shape human life and economic activities. Since it is on Eastern Anatolia with migration routes, Iğdır’s ruins contain a huge biological variety from five-fingered Arabian rabbits to the ruins of the locks, Kafkas and Iran-Anadoed biodiversity with our serhat provinces (Kars, Ardahan, Iğdır and Pain) were particularly interested in Home. Local management in Kars was very interested in our projects advice for nature protection, ecological research and environmental education. In Kars, we are going to collaborate at the University of Kafkas, as well as a positive factor. My work between 2003–2007 was limited, because I had no team to work in the year-long because the support is limited. Despite this, I started Kars-Iğdır Natural Richness Project, mainly for ad ringing studies. Later on these studies, environmental education, nature tourism, wet area circulation, live drawing techniques training, large mammal research entered. Students from the University of Kafkas where I worked together volunteered to work, some changes with passion and then created our team. Our two teams members who never know birds in 2006 have delivered Master thesis on the migrations of birds using Aras River wetlands in 2010. And they had been ornitolog. I decided to build a team and work in 12 months of the year, even more and more beautiful results. Thus, at the end of 2007, the Association of the North Ocean was established. In 2008, the Whitley Gold Award, the largest environmental award of the UK, also known as the Environmental Nobel, reachd our association, Mr. President Abdullah Rose, and the support of local authorities increased further.

Why Choose Kars?]]]

Kars district, thanks the northeast of our country, due to its location in terms of biological diversity. The 34 biological diversity points detected by the International Protection Organization (Conservation International). The transition point of the Caucasus and Iranian-Anadote hot spots is caused by the destruction of the biological diversity from both hot spots in the Kars district. Next, one of the largest migration routes in the world pass through our region. Millions of birds Pounded from here to Eurasia, in the fall, in the aerosol direction of the Middle East and Africa. Since 2006, Aras and Kuyucuk Bird Research and Training Centers have completed this situation. Birds we ring have refugees from Hungary to Kazakhstan, from the South African Republic to Zambia. It also trigger me that the biological diversity of the region is not very familiar. In particular, birds and mammals with the best known group in the world were not examined in detail. We have identified more than 300 laps in Kars province until now. Kars-Iğdır-Ardahan (eski Kars) found a 322 tour on the territory of the province, which means 70% of Turkish troops in a non-sea region. Besides that, we are seeing the first scientific, long-term research project in Sarıkamış Forest-Greekber Mountains National Park. We have identified important mammals such as Kurt, bear, ruin, wild cat, we have documented that in December, by pulling a photo of a vdown with two puppy, for the first time this national park vdown.

a ripped animal with photocapan in the limits of the human conflict project, in addition to this, the region alive spaces. Sulakalanlar, diarrhea, wet meadows, valleys, deep canyons, etc. This negative animal diversity, especially plant diversity. So Kars-Iğdır-Ardahan is a paradise in terms of natural areas. Climate properties are also a separate source of diversity. While the fruit in the snows platos does not grow, it grows even cotton, all kinds of fruits, or even cotton, just around the floating mileage. The largest height (height) width in Turkey is here. From 800 meters of Iğdurova, to 5137 meters of peak of Pain Mount. It is very important advantage of Northeast Anatolia, in terms of climate diversity and strengthen to global warming, which is an average of 1500 meters high mountainity, and the region. But for this, it is necessary to cover a wide range of heights of protected areas in the region.

This climate and nature is also accessible by human life and economic activities. As we look at the west of our country, it is a place where less population and less industrialized, local culture continues strong. Agriculture and cons are mostly natural and organi Tags. Many people in Northeast Anatolia are sensitive and conscious about the environment. Nature tourism is an important reason for the preservation of nature in a paradise and sustainable ecotourism region for wildlife tourism, ecotourism. That’s not too late to protect these values and biocultural diversity. We have decided to work in Kars-Iğdır-Ardahan-Tree region and show the leader we have made and we have made. Local support from Kars and Iğdır played a very important role in our successes.

] What is the safety in which accuracy is detected in important ad areas in Turkey?]

On the other hand, our team of NorthDoes in the explosive wetlands created in Kars University Campus. This is one of the three lists of Turkey. Most of these types are water brew, coastal ad, retouchers and are usually immigrants. Even large accusacy in our country, which is very rare, and is regularly recorded in this area. However, this area is not at ÖKA. There are many more important points in the border and other military regions, especially under military protection. For example, we’ve never been researched since the border zone, we’ve researched the 88-kilometer Arpacay Canyon with the support of the General Staff Presidency and the military. We detected 6 small akbaba slots (Endangered) which is in danger of peeling worldwide. It is possible to see one from Ani Harabe. So this area is accessible of ÖKA and many other protection status but there is no status. Luckily, it is well protected by soldiers because it is the border zone. This remains.

This approach loses its slides in many countries, especially in South America countries for similar reasons. We must have management plans to provide legal protection status to our ÖKAs, to determine the limits of protection and to protect these areas to ministry. When I went to Kuyucuk Lake in 2004, we reported more than 20,000 ancestors in the lake and more than 10,000 ancestors, and a full year later announced the Wildlife Development Field in 2005. Our studies were further pros and the first Ramsar Area of Eastern Anatolia in Kuyucuk Lake 2009 and the management plan was born in January 2010. But even for a lacquer, was active in 7 years, and we will continue to be the pleasure of the other OKAs in the area.

In the last period, HESs can stop only one thing, which also judge decision Tags. Our goal should be to provide legal protection status to these areas and monitor the threats that may be in areas/ The non-profit environmental law company Earthjustice (]]]www.earthjustice.org]]]) has urgently needed in our country to fight law for nature protection in the USA. [[

What is the cost of scientific work to remove inventory in accordance with EU Bird Directive?]

The capacity and budget in Turkey is less than those issues. As far as I know, the most detailed studyd ÖKAs are located throughout the oil pipeline. He was also supported by BTC Environmental Investment Program. The tracking works included in my knowledge are done by the Private Environmental Protection Authority. Home > Products > Leisure & Sports>. As the NorthDoğa Association, we regularly monitor ÖKAs in our and contribute to ringing works. However, I must mention that the NorthDoes Association is not supported even a single euro from EU withdrawal until now. The process is very complex and bureaucratic. We did not want to help from government institutions that we want to lead to this. You are here:Home/Lifecase/Container for the support of the Ministry of Environment and Forest. Due to ad grade, taking funds from the EU could not be distributed for three years, and no work isrried. However, if this money is distributed to abstract ornitologists, many examples and NGOs will carry out scientific studies on many types, especially the types that PLUGd, a very detailed and thorough migration work could be done in such a country, perhaps the most of the migration intensity in the world. [

Works are long-term and they want a capacity researcher and Volunteer. Observations made of one or two years are not enough. We are talking about the minimum six years to follow populated changes. We had six years in Kars and Iğdır but this year. If you are a full list of sorted by inventory, it is difficult to reach the full list of less than 10 years of regular follow-up. We’ve been looking at Kuyucuk Lake since 2004, then there’s a list of birds around 50 today 220; spinning. We explain that there will be 250 types and now we have identified 31 birds in Danger in Turkey and around the world. That’s 5 misleads of the number of types when the inventory is made. We have even seen flamingo on the Lake Wellcuk, as well as in December 2010. This 8th year and no observations are added to new types every year thanks to the work of ringin g. Thanks to the ringing, we are able to detect untracted retouchers very effectively. One four of the 220 species was detected only in ringing work and loves of the eight new types of detection in 2010. But only inventory is not enough and long-term tracking of populations for nature protection is required. Publicization work required for individuals for precise population tracking. There are only three ringing stations in the NorthDoga Association in Turkey, the licensing process is difficult and there is no public support. [

A single area, including ringing, regular monitoring is around 50,000 dollars per year's cost and a budget can be taken on the basis for all the Gentiles. But without tracking here, the steps are just going to the area and count the types. A complete monitoring, public monitoring, environmental education and local based nature tourism project in cooperation with local people. We support these monitoring works with ad ringing, wet area circulation, environmental training and nature tourism works. Note that only watch the area, we train a lot of genetics as nature protectioners, including students from abroad of Turkish diplomas, especially at the University of Kafkas,. To date, at 72 people from 18 different countries worked in our projects, volunteered to us. Since we are working with the people of Yöre, we have led important way to build good relationships for long-term protection of areas.

This budget will vary depending on the space. Monitoring should be done regularly for years and every five years have a report and an idea of the course of the field. These will also show how successful the protection made. The most important pen to leave in the budget should be for the team to do this job. If a constant and regular monitoring is desired, it is necessary to employ high, knowledgeable and nature passion for land employees. With good education, this can be the reason for local people (parataxsonomist) to work, awareness and nature protection. The presence of a continuous team in the field is very useful for the protection of space, environmental education and local awareness.

] How do you need a corporate structure to protect and manage the integrated protection and management of ÖKAs in Turkey? [

Firstly this should be the task of the state, not the civil society. We all know that they are very missing in practice. It does not mean that the state does not do its task. We can work as civil society but in the area of gain legal protection status of these areas, monitor, protection, support for ministry in education work. But the current situation is that tries to do everything with restricted sources of civil society, even sometimes with the thought of "You find funds from the EU" of the state – which is a completely wrong thought - it is a situation that is not supported by the state, which requires support from non-profit, but also is not supported by the mole.

There is no active unit that regularly monitors natural areas, determins the candidate areas protected by tour inventory and numbers and provides protection status. In general, the author of writing to the central directorates fills the form on paper in the directors, then the fields are monitored. There are many employees who have grown to track in what directors in the center of the cultural research and tracking work high. The most important reason for this is that your educational system is subject to biodiversity, ecology, ornithology, wildlife amenajman, nature protection science, as well as very little as education and interest. For this, the active employee has trained in disciplines such as ecology, ornithology, protection biology, but at the same time, people who have grown themselves need to pay by ministry and monitor these areas from the center. As employment, those who choose branches will increase. Arz and a matter of demand. The technical team of wetlands is going to a four side of Turkey to draw protection limits, and if you can draw the limits of protection of wet areas there, biological diversity tracking teams should also go to these areas at different times of the year. These work reports, updates and results are the important work. For example there is an Nuh's Ship project from the ministry, Turkey's Biological Diversity Database project. Since 2005, the meeting was held so much and mayn’t get a serious result in this project. The important database is not the data that will be put into it. Data and information power. Today, thanks to BirdBank, which comes with the data of Volunteer, we can even have an idea of a field or type. Thus, he will follow these areas in the ministry, evaluate these trackings, report and report results to the protection of the area and will bring new protection advice to an effective and accessible unit is required.

Determining the conflict of the Ministry of Environment and Forest and harmony the map. First of all, of course, the benefit of the environment and nature in the first place, so it should be everything that will be useful to the human Tags. When doing this, science should only use scientific data and information associated. [

How do you find the work of civil society in Turkey in terms of protection work?

Although there are some good projects, successful associations and dedicated friends, they aren’t just things out of projectin g. Funded for nature protection, no nature is protected to get funds. No more accurate is possible. The trick of the most saddle when making money is absent in many projects in Turkey. A thread is distributed for a non-profit community is going to go for two years and there is a project. He is doing the project from Ankara and Istanbul. The place that show in the field are very little, when the money is finished, so the project will leave the space when it is finished. So no limit. Despite being based on Kars and being in the continuous area, we took three years even to accept ourselves to the local people in the Lake of Wellcuk and Kars and to win the belief of local governments. There are two-year-old 'protect' projects in different parts of Turkey, and many projects that are far from scientificity, without scientific infrastructure, there is a "fon, there is a project idea, let's do push," and projects. Not only about the environment, social investment, education, sports, etc. in many matters, Turkey is walking to the project garbage. Popular hotels in Turkey

]Dern’s predatory animal in Sarıkamış – a survey study conducted in order to understand the perception of wildlife in the local public of Volunteer under the human conflict project, since the wind of the 1990s, EU fund, United Nations Funds, Global Environmental Funds, advanced country’s Embassy fundraised, fund offered by various gene, funded by the private sector and fraud of fund organizations that do not come to mind at this time distributed fund in Turkey for nature protection. After 2000s, there was a cradle of a fund explosion. There is no work on the amount of money spent and the impact they have created, value added and human capacity they created. But if I don’t show a scientific reference and document push, my personal observations are dissatisfied by the funds, the effect of the project will be distributed without calculatin g. For example, a money like $10 million dollars in the Global Environmental Fund was spent on four pilot zones in Turkey, today he will be held in one of the pilot regions - which is the first biosphere reserve of Matchahel Turkey - the constructions of HES but when it is heard with lifeal decisions, on the other hand, there is almost no place where Sultan Jazz said. So, what money did he spend?

Many nature protection projects deprived of scientific base as I mentioned in the race. Nature protection projects where science and long-term scientific follow-up are alive money and time wasting. science on the other hand, but it is necessary to measure the effect that creates projects and work long-term in communications with the local people watching scientific.

Another problem is that each non-profit organization understands from all matters. There is no need for our country and this is also possible in the civil glass society. So don’t know restricted money and human powers, they don’t have experience, and they are not able to associate with science. A person in one must be hungry in an institution and should work on it. Natural protectioners in Turkey are very messy.

Their limit of if any other thread is Home. The ancient man in Turkey's nature protection, even in the ordinary man on the street, was remembered in the scientific name of a sea turtle (Caretta caretta) as well as in the 1980s, introduced the kelaynak to a whole country, when I started the observation in 1990, there is no longer a Natural Life Protection Association. Nature protection is growing, thrive, immersion number of members and impact in Turkey, while working in cooperation, experiencing peak spots and then going to the garbage of history, what is the problem, they should be analyzed and taken into account the rescue of the institution while intellectual strategies are determined. It can not be considered to be a nature protection that does not wealth and pleasure. Who do not have nature are in a much more effective than those who protect nature. [email protected]

] What is the importance that the variety of birds in Turkey fleets in terms of fauna in Europe?]

Turkey, 319 species ureyen 466 ad species in all Europe, outside Russia, country with a variety of most breeder birds. One of the main reasons for this is our hunger, which is a bridge task, as we are the historical and culturally. It is only country that cover most of the three biological diversity points in the world, Turkey. There are even African sights. Mediterranean, Caucasus and Iran-Anado biological hot spots are cut in our country. This living area is unique (sulakalan, subasar forest, needle leafy forest, large leafy forest, natural old forest, alpine meadow, spoiler, sazluk, semi desert, river, coast, lagoon, salty, sweet, maki, funda, delta, etc.) when you add the factor of a paradise in Turkey. Another factor is that two of the world’s largest migration paths pass through our country. Istanbul is one of the rare cities where you can see from your work desk in the business district in Levent, Gayrettepe or Kavacık, thousands of people who speak, small forest cards, leylek. Again, the different regions of our country are the main reasons that increase our diversity of birds. When you look at North Europe, there is no high place from a thousand meters, and consist of flat benzene areas. A three-hour Rize in Turkey – a coastal, river, large-leaved forest, natural old forest, alpine meadow, ice lacquer, mountain, spoils and you will see the aluvyal valley ecosystems. Or if you travel three hours in northern Europe, the only ecosystem you will see is plantation accessible that are translated into agricultural land or growing from industrialized flats or soldiers as well as snacks.

It is a great advantage that our country is spreading to two slides. The Western of our country does not mean anything to a European observr, the genre that may not see in Europe are the most nearby places. The east of our country is the extension of the Caucasus and Iran-Anado biological variety hot spots, unlike the west. In no country in Europe, foreign Russia, these two hot spots and therefore there is no biological diversity created. For this reason, in 2005, Turkey’s first non-profit, we have seen 276 types in three weeks when I delete out ad watching that provides support for nature protection, which is more than European countries. This record was still broken. We have seen many of these types and most interesting items in Eastern Anatolia. The country is only in the European Peninsula where a European can see species, such as Iraq sand cake, striped voter, desertcolate, small serenity, large ad, riding girl, green bean, fish lover. [

] What are the challenges of maintaining and managing a non-course organization in Turkey? Do you hope for the future?]] [

We have a team of hardworking and nature passion, but we don’t have long-term financial support, we don’t have a continuous support from any institute in Turkey, and continuing for support is very demanding and tired. Incoming funds are less than the other associations that use them as efficient, effective and sound return. I don’t have any financial gain if I’m already volunteering for the association. For me, it is very important to build balance between both ecological research and publishing and local-based and concrete nature protection work. But also considered a teacher at Utah University Biology Department in the Utah University, more than half of my time is going to find out the associations work and the joints. How much this means hDoes do more effective work with less resources of the Association, which makes me so much. Our work in a concrete way and support us by having Turkish state and nations to protect their nature and nature. Why the support to protect the nature of Eastern Anatolia is coming from abroad, not most people and institutions in our country? Is this coincculant to a country that has seen itself as an advanced country and claims that the world is 17 large economy? The value of this natural wealth is very strangers from us. In real sense, vatanseverity is to try to start with the nature of this country, the soil, the fullness of their lives, to protect them and transfer them to other opportunities. They protect nature from this respect and support them, literally spreading. I hope that the people and institutions of our country have the support of nature protection in Turkey.. We have developed for years and brought to a good point, and our concentrated nature protection, environmental education, ecological research and village-based ecotourism studies are very surprised to end due to financial reasons. As we took our work in the region, the effects, possession, consciousness, concrete environmental protection is changing. If we can continue our work, we are very promising from the future. [

If the other important point is that we know the opportunity of our positive relationship with our neighbors, we need to pay much more attention and importance to the mutual and joint protection of natural areas in our border regions. Kars-Iğdır-Ardahan-Network, Georgia, Armenia, Nahçıvan and Iran, one of the most important points in Turkey. We develop important projects in this regard as the NorthDoga Association. If we do not give priority to the cross protection of the border, it will enter the danger of many areas protected because of our potential limits and increased trade and traffic. For example, it is forbidden to enter the Aktas Lake, where the Georgia-Ardahan border divides into two. That’s why the island in the goal is to get hungry and hilly pelics. But the border gate on the coast of the lake will be opened and the traffic in this area will increase much. We have intensive efforts to not negatively affect the lake and peans. The main road from Kars to Armenia is connected through the coast of the Wellcuk Lake, which we are very labor to protect. In December, we found a porsuk died from car crash. When the border of Armenia was opened, the road will increase the road and the road. Arpacay Canyon, which means the limit of Armenia, is also affected, we are accessible. On the other hand, known as the "The Most Dangerous Nuclear Power Plant of the World" in Armenia, the Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant, built by the Soviet Union with the first generation technology, continuing to operate at 16 km distance from our city. If there is an accident in this power plant, the large facia Çernobil will flow. Lives and environmental problems in nature are not limited. Also due to climate change, the living areas of many living are changing. Some types of living in old-protected areas are getting out of this area. Distributes to other countries. Due to all these reasons, we have to pay much more attention to cross-border collaborations in terms of environmental protection.
