Chapter 3 / Progress This chapter will present the project achievements, results and activities. The more significant problems and the lessons learned are mentioned. The original planning and the realisation are compared as objectives, products and time schedule. The activities are presented in more details. ......and as achieved 3.1. Objectives: .... as planned Objective 1: To develop a National Butterfly Conservation strategy, primarily focused on key sites (Prime Butterfly Areas), based on agreed, objective scientific criteria: a) the complete baseline dataset digitised and available for conservation studies, b) an agreed provisional Butterfly Red List, c) a candidate list of Prime Butterfly Areas d) a National Butterfly Conservation Strategy developed with the participation of all key stakeholders. Target groups: NGOs, relevant government bodies (especially Ministries of Environment and Forestry and of Agriculture and Rural Affairs), project funders, Butterfly Conservation Europe Objective 2: To build capacity for the active and sustainable conservation of butterflies. Target groups: local butterfly watchers, relevant government bodies (especially Ministries of Environment and Forestry and of Agriculture and Rural Affairs). This will result in more butterfly fieldworkers who can collect data, conservationists who can interpret it and government bodies able to promote, support and implement appropriate and sustainable conservation actions. Objective 1: Developed National Butterfly Conservation strategy following a scientifically robust and objective methodology. The Strategy presents the key sites – selected to ‘capture’ all of Turkey’s butterfly species – and identifies eight priority actions required to counteract the main threats threatening Turkey’s butterfly fauna both at the site and national scale. e) the complete baseline dataset was digitised and is available for conservation studies, f) an approved Butterfly Red List was completed and published, g) an initial set of Prime Butterfly Areas was identified and published, h) a National Butterfly Conservation Strategy was developed with the participation of the key stakeholders and published. Objective 2: To build capacity for the active and sustainable conservation of butterflies. There is a group of butterfly fieldworkers who collects data, conservationists able to interpret it and government bodies willing and able to promote, support and implement appropriate and sustainable conservation actions, with focus on butterflies too. Target groups: For both objectives the targeted groups were involved, no revisions were needed. Their cooperation and involvement in the process, thought not always as expected, was available. The project team approached carefully the task and build up, which will serve in further conservation work in the country.
