Bio-Geographical Region Turkey is sited in three

bio-geographical regions; Mediterranean, Anatolian and the Black Sea region, its geographical and climatic features change within short intervals of space due to the country’s position.

Turkey’s biological diversity can be compared to that of a small continent: the country’s territory consists of forests, mountains, steppe, wetlands, coastal and marine ecosystems and different forms and combinations of these systems.

Fauna Diversity This extraordinary

ecosystem and habitat diversity has produced considerable species diversity. Turkish fauna biodiversity is quite high compared with the biodiversity of other countries in the temperate zone.

Birds Paradise Anatolia is home to the

Fallow Deer and the Pheasant. The fact that Turkey is located on two major bird migration routes in the world makes it an important feeding and breeding area for birds.

Flora Turkey has a wealth of

flora species. A comparison with the continent of Europe is sufficient to illustrate such wealth: while there are 12,500 gymnospermous and angiospermous plant species.

There are 5 micro-gene centres in the country in which more than 100 species display wide variation and which are the origin or centre of a large number of important crop plants and other economically important plant species, such as medical plants.
