Objectives

Eğirdir Lake is the second largest freshwater lake in Turkey. In addition to being a natural drinking water basin, it is an internationally important wetland in terms of biodiversity values. While there are 514 different bird species in Europe and 454 different bird species in Turkey, 225 of the bird species found in Turkey live in Eğirdir Lake and its surroundings. In addition to the species it hosts, Eğirdir Lake gives life to its surroundings with usage values such as fishing, agriculture (especially apple production) and drinking water supply. Almost all of the fish species in the lake, such as crayfish and crayfish, are exported abroad. However, apple production in the region accounts for approximately 20 percent of Turkey's total production. The natural resources and biological diversity values of Lake Eğirdir are threatened by pollution. In particular, agricultural pollution will affect the future of Lake Eğirdir, as in many wetlands and drinking water resources of Turkey. As a result of the excessive use of pesticides and fertilizers in agricultural activities around the lake, approximately 1800 tons of chemicals are mixed into the soil and water annually. Since the packages of the medicines are not disposed of properly, approximately 70 tons of solid waste is generated annually. The information we shared above shows how we are on the right track to make this project. It We can list what we want to achieve and our goals by applying our project, which we will do with the information, as follows. - By applying our project, we will first ensure that what the ecosystem means, By implementing our project, what needs to be done to protect the ecosystem across our participants and target audience to make it understood - By implementing our project, we will work on new studies for the protection of the ecosystem both for our participants and our target audience. to demand or to be a pioneer in order to be done, - In order to protect the ecosystem that we aim the most by implementing our project and which we will use many ways to reach. To draw the attention of decision makers to create new policies, - By implementing our project, the attention of the people about environmental pollution, especially in the region where we want to implement our project, withdrawal, -To be a pioneer in carrying out new activities in order to reduce environmental pollution by implementing our project, - By implementing our project, the importance of lakes and water resources both in the local community and in our target audience. understanding. - To ensure that the effective use of lakes and water resources is given importance together with the activities of our project, - Knowing the action plan of lakes and wetlands by more people, - More people see the action plan for wetlands prepared by our country, -To understand the importance of environmental and nature related policies by implementing our project. - By implementing our project, drawing the attention of decision makers to this issue, especially in the name of preventing climate change and to make them take action on the matter. -Eğirdir and Eğirdir Lake being recognized by more people -Eğirdir Lake recognized by more people within the scope of tourism activities - Making new studies for the protection of Eğirdir Lake, which is located on the migration route of migratory birds, - Taking precautions for the protection of Egirdir Lake and nearby lakes. Understanding the 2030 environmental policy implemented by the Union and providing support with our project, - To ensure that the phenomenon of EU citizenship occurs exclusively for our participants, - The participants who will be selected for our project learn key competences and increase their development in key competences, - By applying our project, to ensure that the Erasmus + program is recognized in the region where we are applying it first, - Knowing the opportunities provided by the Erasmus + program in the region where we are implementing our project and before our target audience, - With our project, the number of people involved in the projects supported by the Erasmus + program, especially, - Increasing number of volunteers, especially for our partner institutions and stakeholders, - The number of volunteers developing in terms of quality, especially for our partners and stakeholders, -Continuing interaction with our partners in new projects and making new collaborations. Each goal we want to achieve by doing our project is a solid on the ground. Not from an imaginary point of view, Our project is based on solid foundations in line with the goals we want to achieve by implementing our project. Our Project We think that we will achieve these goals by implementing
