In regards to its biological diversity, Turkey has the characteristics of a small continent. There are three separate biogeographical and climactic zones all within a relatively small geographic area. Turkey has forest, mountain, steppe, wetland and coastal and marine ecosystems in a number of combinations. The three main regions known as the Euro-Siberian, the Mediterranean and the Irano-Turanian and its distinct geographic location have positioned Turkey as a bridge between two continents.

This poster is organized by the Turkish Ministry of Forest and Water Affairs. The focal point is the IUCN National Committee of Turkey.
