Objectives

We can say that Kuşcenneti National Park and Manyas Lake, awarded with the 'A Class' diploma by the Council of Europe, have been taken to the intensive care unit due to environmental pollution, and if the necessary intervention is not performed, Kuşcenneti will lose its national park feature and Manyas lake will dry. It has been revealed by recent studies that the spread rate of nitrogen and phosphorus in Manyas lake is around seventy percent. The lack of oxygen in the water disrupted the lake's natural life balance and surrounded the lake by 2-3 meters of marsh. Feeding resources of birds have decreased.Heavy metals accumulate in the bodies of birds and pose a serious threat to their lives. Paddy, corn, sugar beet, sunflower are planted on the lands around the lake; these agricultural areas are irrigated with very dirty lake water, after which these drainage waters reach the lake and the lake is exposed to pesticide pollution. In order to protect the biological diversity and sustainability of Manyas Lake, the treatment of industrial and mining organizations polluting the lake - which they do not want to operate due to commercial concerns - should be ensured. Pesticide pollution in the lake should be prevented and natural treatments in settlements located on the shores of the lake should be run. If we list our goals with the information we shared above, -Understanding what the ecosystem means -Understanding what needs to be done to protect the ecosystem, - Carrying out new studies for the protection of the ecosystem, - Attracting the attention of decision makers to create new policies for the protection of the ecosystem, - Attracting the attention of the local people about environmental pollution, - To ensure that new studies are carried out to reduce environmental pollution, -Understanding the importance of lakes and water resources, - To draw attention to the effective use of lakes and water resources, - To know the Lakes and Wetlands Action Plan by more people, - Providing support to the action plan by more people, -Learning environmental and nature policies, - Mobilizing decision makers to prevent climate change, -Manyas Lake is recognized by more people, -Kuscenneti National Park is recognized by more people, - To carry out new studies to protect the eggs of the birds that lay their eggs in the Bird Paradise National Park on the migration route of migratory birds, - Taking measures to protect Lake Manyas and the Bird Paradise - Understanding and contributing to the European Union 2030 environmental policy, - The formation of the European Union citizenship phenomenon, -The increase of our participants' development based on key competencies, -Take attention to National Afforestation Day -Ensuring the recognition of Erasmus + program, - Knowing the opportunities provided by Erasmus + program, -Increased number of participation in projects supported by Erasmus + program, -Increased number of volunteers, - Number of volunteers developing in terms of quality,
