Description:
The Kaçkar mountains are one of the 200 ecological sites under preservation with their breathtaking beauty and cultural traits. They are the most important stretch of the Alp-Himalayan formation in Anatolia. The mountains stand at 40 kms inland and reach nearly 4000 metres of height. The humid and mild climate on the north of the mountains determines the flora there. They have created a unique ecosystem in the region. This region is also rich with its flora. As it is a migratory route for predatory birds, it has become a natural habitat for a variety of them. In addition, it inhabits mammals such as bear, jackal, fox, lynx, wild cat, mountain goat, roe, marten, sable. There are also rare species of birds such as birch, Caucasian mountain-rooster, mountain partridge, bearded vulture, and snake-eagle. Their presence increases the importance of this region. It also has rich flora with 2,500 varieties of plants and flowers. 300 of them are found exclusively in Turkey and 160 of them grow only on the Kaçkar mountains. The old forests of the Eastern Blacksea mountains are the only mild climate rain and boreal forests in Turkey, and are unique with their biological diversity.
