Bird sanctuary in Türkiye’s Van revived through environmental restoration
The Dilkaya Reedbed, a vital bird sanctuary in the Edremit district of Van, Türkiye, had faced severe ecological threats after the destruction of a natural water barrier. The degradation of this barrier caused fresh water from the Donemec River to flow directly into Lake Van, cutting off essential water supply to the reedbed and putting it at risk of drying out.
