Bandırma İlçesinde Tavukçuluğun Çevresel Baskısı

The delta of Gediz is an important wetland of A category found in Turkey. 211 bird species of the total number of 426 species have been observed in Gediz delta. 59 of them incubate here. Since 27 species of these incubating ones are water birds, the area becomes even more important. From the 211 bird species determined in the mentioned area, 64 are local, 54 are summer migrates, 43 are winter migrates and 30 are transit passengers. The status of the 20 species could not be identified as a result of inadequate number of observations. The 115 bird species of 211 observed Gediz delta are considered within the danger of A category (A.1.2, A2, A3 and A4) and 27 species are of B (B2,B3) category. These factors indicate that how important the area is from the view of the bird species whose race are in danger to be extinguished and that ought to be protected.
