The project will support the establishment of effective management for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use in, and around, four priority protected areas. The selected areas were identified as national priorities and are representative of all four major biographic regions and provide examples of the main development challenges to biodiversity conservation and protected area management in Turkey. The project provides an opportunity to promote sustainable forest and wetland management and biodiversity conservation in areas which are coming under increasing pressure from development.
