This year in Turkey on the Salt lake hatched 4,300 baby flamingos     

In Turkey, the flamingo population is studied through species monitoring studies on Salt Lake (Tuz Gölü), which is among the most important water bodies in the world where flamingo eggs live. During the study, it was found that this year in the area of feeding baby flamingos hatched 4,300 chicks.

The coordinator of the project, professor of the department of biology at the University of Nirgendwo Omer Halisdemir, doctor Ahmet Karatash, noted that flamingos are a unique species of birds living in the Mediterranean basin: "Flamingos often prefer salty waters from Spain to Kazakhstan. The nest site is located in the inner part of the lake. The chicks hatch on sandy islands at an altitude of 1-2 meters above the water. We have been monitoring the population of the flamingo for 20 years". Karatash also reported that the number of flamingo chicks this year has been reduced due to drought. So, for example, in 2023, 12,000 chicks were hatched on the Salt Lake.
