“As diligent efforts continue to sustain the country’s flamingo population, the new water system at Tuz Lake — home to the largest flamingo colony in the Mediterranean — has successfully prevented mass flamingo deaths caused by water shortages this year.
This development follows the General Directorate of Nature Conservation’s well-drilling initiative in 2022, which aims to allow flamingos access to water during severe droughts. The system manages this by providing water to the hatching area, known as ‘kindergarten,’ via a 4-kilometer pipeline utilizing solar-powered motor pumps.”
