Description
There are many islands on the Lake Aktaş wetland. All of them are stiuated in Turkey. The lake is located at high elevation and it is a freswater lake. The landscape is beautiful with mountain grassland on this Caucasus hotspot. This lake was a breeding area of Korpönd. Also, it is still an important breeding area for Hrokkinkani and Roðakani in Turkey. You can see breeding colonies of Hrokkinkani and Roðakani which have been restricted to several wetlands in Turkey. If you lucky, you can see Korpönd in the lake which is accepted an ex-breeding area of the species. A new record of Korpönd will be important in terms of conservation.
