THE WORLD OF LIVING ORGANISMS

FLORA OF TÜRKİYE
  • Türkiye is one of the few countries in the world in terms of plant species richness and endemic plants. With many genera and species serving as a center of origin, the total number of plant species in our country has approached 12,000 with recent new identifications. Of these plants found in Türkiye, 3,000 are endemic. Greece, the country with the highest endemism rate in Europe after Türkiye, has 800 endemic plant species, while the United Kingdom has a total of 2,000 plant species. Looking at these figures, it becomes clear that Türkiye’s geography hosts a rich variety of plant species in terms of both diversity and the number of species.

FAUNA OF TÜRKİYE
  • Türkiye not only hosts typical species of the Mediterranean fauna but also of Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, the Caucasus, and the Arabian Peninsula. Moreover, compared to European countries, it harbors a significantly higher number of mammal species, indicating that the fauna of Turkey cannot be classified as either typical European or typical Middle Eastern fauna.
  • Approximately 1,230 vertebrate species are recognized in Türkiye’s fauna, including 160 mammals, 418 birds, 120 reptiles, 22 amphibians, 127 freshwater fish, and 384 marine fish. However, some of these species are on the verge of extinction, while others are considered endangered.
