As part of the Green Light for Mediterranean Wetlands Protocol, the Mediterranean Conservation Society (AKD) held training and a field trip about wetlands for 5th-grade students attending Cahit Belkıs Güneyman Middle School in Akyaka.
Two days of training
- First day
On the first day of the training, the students researched the importance of wetlands, how they differ from other ecosystems and which species they are home to.
- Second day
On the second day of the training, they had the chance to observe all of their research at Gökçe Wetland together with experts from the Mediterranean Conservation Society. Observing the human impacts that threaten wetlands during the site visits, the students recorded them on scientific observation forms.
