3.3. Publish a poster to present and promote the candidate PBAs
The poster was developed as a joint venture with National Geographic –Turkey, and
published as a three-fold-out section in their July 2011 magazine.
Details on the work:
In January 2011 the project approached National Geographic–Turkey regarding the
possibility of jointly producing the poster and distributing it with their magazine (circulation
of 10,000).
The poster was designed as a map depicting the threatened species and the PBAs at which
they occur, using information provided by DKM.
National Geographic commissioned local artist, Sancar Barıs, to produce paintings of each of
the 26 threatened species (CR, EN, and VU).
Evrim Karaçetin wrote an article on threatened butterflies to accompany the poster.
