The Ecological Path

Don’t leave the trail or walk

away from the group without the

permission of a teacher or monitor.

On the Ecological Path we will

walk the trails with the goal of

having fun and getting to know

the nature of the site.

It is fundemental to respect the

environment and not leave any

type of waste or garbege.

Disturb the fauna as little as

possible, don’t pick plants, and

when you leave the nature site,

try to leave it just like you

found it.

1

One of the great spectacles that nature can

offer us is the power to contemplate birds in

their natural habitat.

But ATTENTION! In the country, we

should be civil and discreet, passing as

unnoticed as possible, neither altering

the habitat, nor disturbing the ani-

mals.

Now that you have observed some of the

birds on the path, try to indentify them by their

silhouettes.

Fauna on the Path

Alex to the contamination of the

Bosphorus, there is not a large variety

of fish and those that liver there are

not very demanding in regard to the

quality of the water. We can mainly

find Lüfer and Karagöz.

The natural richness of our water is seriously threatened by

contamination, introduced species, and human activity.

Help the Lüfer to find that path that leads to the

food:

Bosphorus Residue

Rivers, lakes, and seas collect, and maintain for a long time,

garbage produced by human activity.

If you want to enjoy your envi-

ronment and a clean sea, remem-

Learn to deposit residue in the correct containers so they can be

treated correctly.

Don´t use the toilet or sink as a garbage can. Keep in mind that it

the sea… REPORT IT!!!!!!!

GREEN IGLOO: All glass containers (bottles, jars, and tins)

tainers, plastic food trays.

WASTE: Food scraps and any type of residue that doesn´t go

in the other containers.

Ahh!!! And
