Neighborhood guide book 2 – Tek Tek Mountains National Park

Abstract

Conservation and Sustainable Management of Turkey’s Steppe Ecosystems Project is implemented by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry General Directorate of Nature Conservation and National Parks (GDNCNP), General Directorate of Plant Production (GDPP) and General Directorate of Forestry (GDF) with the financial support of Global Environment Facility (GEF). The project aims to improve the conservation of Turkey’s steppe ecosystems through effective management of protected areas and mainstreaming of steppe biodiversity conservation into production landscapes. Neighborhood guide books were prepared separately for each of the three project sites and aim to provide information about the social, cultural and natural characteristics of the project site settlements, especially about the biodiversity and historical importance of these areas and the life of the local people.
