EKAD

EKAD was established in 2003 by academicians, most of whom are experts in biodiversity and nature conservation. Since its establishment, EKAD has been in a harmonious cooperation with universities, ministries, municipalities, other NGO’s, and private enterprises. To this day, we continue our mission by increasing and expanding our activities with the contributions of national and international volunteers joining our studies.

EKAD has carried out a number of nature conservation projects, including those focused on flora and fauna, environment education, and plastics. We have conducted sea turtle monitoring studies in almost all nesting sites in Turkiye, and have been working in Belek continously for over 20 years (even before EKAD was established).
