Istanbul-bred pheasants help fight ticks across Türkiye

The article discusses the efforts of the Polonezköy Pheasant Breeding Station in Istanbul, which breeds and releases Caucasian pheasants across Turkey to combat harmful pests like ticks and brown marmorated stink bugs. Operated by the General Directorate of Nature Conservation and National Parks under the Agriculture and Forestry Ministry, the station has been reintroducing pheasants since 2007. This initiative supports biodiversity and helps control invasive species affecting agriculture, particularly in the Black Sea region. The pheasants are raised in controlled environments before being released into protected areas where hunting is banned for three years. The station produced 4,700 pheasants this year, contributing to a national network of wildlife conservation efforts.
