Turkey has considerably rich marine and coastal biological diversity, some of which do not exist in the world, or majority of the Mediterranean basin. Existence of such a great biological diversity including endangered or Mediterranean region endemic species strictly depends on pristine marine & coastal habitats, somehow remained untouched in the country to date. The list of rare or endangered bio-diversity in Turkey can be extended for some other mammals, fishes and birds as well as serpents and many insect and plant species. Also several different sand dune plants including lilies and orchids. There are three protection status in Turkey; National Parks (NP), Special Environment Protection Areas (SEPA) and Natural SIT areas (SIT). Recently established DG Spatial Planning under the Ministry of Environment and Urbanning (MoEU) took over the authority for development planning with its establishment act in 2011. DG Spatial Planning is now able to approve any development and industrialization project in any coastal zone including NPs and SEPAs. As for the SIT areas, MoEU developed another policy and started a discussion on the "validity" or "justification" of natural SIT areas, which are currently under strict protection against any urbanization or house & road construction. MoEU asked some private companies in Turkey to carry out a new assessment studies on the existing SIT areas to review and revise the existing SIT areas if these areas should remain or remove their "SIT protected status"!.. This poses a great risk for these untouched natural areas, falling into the KBD Areas in Turkey as well, which may result in complete non-existence of SIT areas in the near future in Turkey. The current policy of the relevant Ministries is "development at any cost" gives great and irreverseble harm on the existing KBAs of Turkey with an increased acceleration. In case this negative process progresses, it will then be break point for the country, after which biological diversity will be faced with a great diminish including the above mentioned species that are important for Turkey and Europe. However, NGOs generally do not allocate time, financial resources and expert staff specifically to cope with this great problem threatening the wild habitats in Turkey, since they are engaged with other conservation and research projects not aiming the urgent defence and real time monitoring of the state of KBAs or generally cannot achieve this due to staff and monetary shortages. In other words, urgent defence of natural habitats and coordinated actions to stop detrimental development projects seems a great gap in the conservation dilemma of the country. The project aims to strenghthen the capacity of local relevant individuals and NGO?s conservation, monitoring and communication capacities towards better collaboration with decision makers and govermental institutions.
