Özet

In Türkiye, the responsibilities of the Game and Wildlife Branch Directorate are carried out in accordance with the provisions outlined in the Land Hunting Law No. 4915, enacted on July 11, 2003. According to 2024 data for Türkiye, there are 85 Wildlife Development Areas encompassing a total of 169,873 hectares.

The Düzlerçamı Wildlife Conservation Area is located within Antalya Province. It was officially designated as a Wildlife Conservation Area by a decision of the Council of Ministers on October 16, 2005. The area designated covers 27,023 hectares. The geographical coordinates of Düzlerçamı (Antalya) are Latitude 37.025951 and Longitude 30.492170, with an average elevation of 458 meters. The principal target species designated for the establishment of the Düzlerçamı Wildlife Conservation Areas are the Fallow Deer (Dama dama) and the Mountain Goat (Capra aegagrus). Extensive field studies, observations, and literature reviews indicate that the region is abundant in faunal elements, including mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, salamanders, and frogs, in addition to the aforementioned species. Notably, the Fallow Deer, the target species, is endemic to the Düzlerçamı region of Anatolia, its native habitat, and has no other extant populations elsewhere in Anatolia. This highlights the importance of the area. The region’s diverse topography—comprising deep canyons, extensive plateaus, small hills, rising mountains, rugged, steep cliffs, and rocky terrain—supports a rich diversity of flora and fauna. At lower altitudes, vegetation primarily consists of red pine and maquis.

The visitor centre of Termessos National Park is situated within the Düzlerçamı Wildlife Conservation Area in Antalya. The information centre provides materials emphasizing the region's diverse flora and fauna. Educational programs are systematically arranged for student groups to enhance their understanding of the local wildlife. Recreational activities available in and around the area include botanical research, wildlife observation (such as fallow deer and mountain goats), bird-watching excursions, trekking, caving, mountain biking, camping, canyoning, and equestrian pursuits.

The General Directorate of Nature Conservation and National Parks establishes an annual hunting quota for wild goats in the region, based on population status. Within this framework, hunting tourism is facilitated by permitting both local and international hunters to hunt wild goats.
