No results found.This strategy was prepared in close cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MoAF) General Directorate of Nature Conservation and National Parks, General Directorate of Plant Production, General Directorate of Forestry and especially the Şanlıurfa Units. This project along with the Province-Based Steppe Conservation Strategy shows the importance FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry together with Şanlıurfa Governorship and other governmental organizations and institutions attach to the conservation of the steppe ecosystems in Şanlıurfa, their sustainable and cooperative management and awareness-raising. Steppe areas represent ecosystems that are very rich in biodiversity and serve as a very important insurance for the conservation of environment and food security of humanity. At present, the wild relatives of many cultivated species still exist in the steppes. In other words, steppes are important gene centers that contribute to the achievement of food security for the future. Şanlıurfa steppes, as part of the “Fertile Crescent” region, give a summary of the agricultural history of humanity and host a very important cultural and scientific heritage that enables us to re-evaluate the preparatory stages of transition to agriculture. In this strategy, while the general characteristics of the Şanlıurfa steppes are covered, the legal and administrative status of the steppes is also laid down. Within the framework of these data, strategies and mechanisms for co-operative and coordinated management of the steppes in the province are identified and presented. -

No results found.The project is carried out collaboratively by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and 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 the Global Environment Facility (GEF). This project along with the National Steppe Conservation Strategy shows the importance FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry attach to the conservation of Turkey’s rich and vulnerable steppe ecosystems, their sustainable and cooperative management and awareness-raising. This Strategy is instrumental in contributing to the conservation of unique steppe assets possessed by Turkey at national level as well as fulfillment of international commitments such as those arising from the International Convention on Biological Diversity, Aichi Goals of Convention on Biological Diversity and Convention to Combat Desertification. It appears that there are hardly any policies or legal documents directly geared towards steppe ecosystems in Turkey, as opposed to the legal and administrative documents for the conservation and management of mountain-forests, wetlands, and coastal and marine ecosystems. Therefore, the National Steppe Conservation Strategy and Action Plan assumes special importance. -
