List of Ramsar sites in Turkey

Ramsar sites in Turkey are wetlands which have been designated as internationally important.

[4] Wetlands in Turkey are diverse, ranging from alluvial forests, lagoons, saltmarshes and even a caldera lake.

[8] As well as Ramsar sites there are also nationally and locally important wetlands, and as of 2021 there are 66 plans.

[9] According to Caterina Scaramelli, research assistant professor of anthropology and earth and environment at Boston University, local people are not properly consulted.

[5] Because the Directorate of Wetlands Conservation is part of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (it is not part of the Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change),[10] she says there is a conflict of interest.
