| Résumé : |
This IUCN report and accompanying dataset on the status and distribution of freshwater biodiversity in the Eastern Mediterranean, and the associated report and data on the Freshwater Key Biodiversity Areas in the wider Mediterranean Basin represent major advances in provision of information to help incorporate biodiversity needs into water development planning processes within an Integrated River Basin Management framework.Nineteen per cent of all freshwater species assessed here are globally threatened. However, when only those species that are endemic to the region are considered (species which, if lost from the region, will become globally extinct) this level of threat rises to 58.2%.
The highest number of threatened species are found within six distinct areas within the region: the coastal Levant and Gulf of İskenderun catchments from the Orontes to the Litani and the Upper Hula basin and Lake Kinneret/Sea of Galilee, the widerTigris and Euphrates lower plains including the Hawizah marshes up to the Diyala River in Iraq and lower Karoun in Iran, the Khabur River including the Ras al-Ain springs (Euphrates catchment) in northern Syria, the Lakes Region of Turkey (including the upper Büyük Menderes, the Köprü River, and Kırkgöz Springs), the lower Çoruh River and otherBlack Sea catchments in north-eastern Turkey, and the lower Aras/Kura River in Azerbaijan and southern Armenia This publication includes an executive summary in English, Turkish, Arabic. |
