Alburnus nicaeensis / Iznik Shemaya / Iznik Inci Baligi

 

# data[].attributes.body
Justification: This species has not been found since the late 20th century despite several intensive studies on Lake Iznik (1996-2003), the only known habitat of this species. The species is now Extinct most likely due to alien species invasion which were stocked into the lake to improve fisheries yields.

Range: The species was only known from Lake Iznik basin, Turkey.

No population trend.

Habitat and Ecology: It was a pelagic, lacustrine species which most likely spawned in lake tributaries.

Major Threat(s): The species most likely because Extinct due to alien species (Atherina boyeri) invasion which were stocked into the lake to improve fisheries yields

Conservation Actions: It is too late for conservation efforts to be implemented for this species as it is now Extinct.

Justification for assessment: Globally vulnerable because of its decreasing populations. Because of low levels of recovery and high levels of mortality. Targeted by fishers.

Range: Can live in tropical to cold temperate seas globally.

Population trend: Decreasing

Habitat and ecology: The Common Thresher Shark is virtually circumglobal in temperate oceans, penetrates into tropical waters and also has a noted tolerance for cold waters.

Major threats: Threatened from a combination of slow life history characteristics, therefore low capacity to recover from exploitation. Also a target for fishers for find and their meat.

Conservation actions: Time and area restrictions in California. It is not conserved internationally.

Panthera
pardus tulliana / Anadolu Parsı / Persian Leopard

# data[].attributes.body
Justification: It is only found in 5 countries and the population is less than 1000. This is because of hunting for fur, habitat destruction and reduction of prey caused by poaching.

Range: Middle Eastern mountain range.

Population Trend: Decreasing.

Habitat and ecology: Terestrial.

Major threats: Habitat loss and reduction of prey. Also conflicts in Afghanistan and between Armenia-Azerbaijan.

Conservation actions: There is minimal conservation act taking place in Iran and Turkey.

Chortippus antecessor / Adana Grasshopper / Adana Çekirgesi

# data[].attributes.body
Justification: Chorthippus intercessor is critically endangered. This is because the species is forced to migrate higher in the mountains.

Range: It is endemic to Adana and the Taurus Mountains

Population Trend: Decreasing

Habitat and ecology: Found in short grass meadow and montane dwarf shrub. The species is forced to migrate higher in the mountains since the habitat is being degraded.

Major Threats: The current main threats are habitat loss due to agricultural conversion as well as agricultural activities by local people.

Conservation Action: No conservation actions taken yet for this species.

Extinct - Aphanius splendens / Gölçük Toothcarp / Gölcük Sazanı

# data[].attributes.body
Justification: The species was already Extinct by the 1980s (its exact date of extinction is unknown) due to the affects of introduced non-native fishes. Many surveys have taken place and the species has not been found.

Range: This species was known from Lake Gölçük, west of Isparta, Turkey.

No population trends.

Habitat and ecology: This was a lacustrine species inhabiting one mountain lake.

Major threats: The species vanished due to alien species invasion. Alien species were stocked to improve fisheries.

Conservation actions: No more conservation needed as the species is Extinct.

Knipowitschia ephesi / Ephesus Dwarf Goby / Kaya Balıgı

# data[].attributes.body
Justification: Ephesus Dwarf Goby can mostly only be found on the lowermost Küçük Menderes wetlands in Turkey.(25 km²)

Range: Can be found in a delta marsh. It enters brackish water.

Population Trend: Decreasing.

Habitat and ecology: Found at delta marshes. Enters brackish water.

Major Threats: Water extraction, pollution and habitat destruction are major threats for this organism. Since it is only found in one location it is Critically Endangered.

Conservation Actions: There is no current conservation action at this moment. Field work and special conservation is recommended to understand threats and distribution and also protect the species
