Site details
Rationale for qualifying as KBA: This site qualifies as a Key Biodiversity Area of international significance because it meets one or more previously established criteria and thresholds for identifying sites of biodiversity importance (including Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas, Alliance for Zero Extinction sites, and Key Biodiversity Areas) KBA identified in the CEPF Ecosystem Profile of the Mediterranean Hotspot (2017). Taxonomy, nomenclature and global threat category follow the 2016 IUCN Red List.
Delineation rationale: 2013-09-30 (BL Secretariat): two IBAs from 2004 national IBA book, Bodrum Yarimadasi (SitRecID 24054) and Bodrum Adalari (SitRecID 9600), have been merged in the 2006 national KBA book to form the 2006 KBA / 2016 IBA 'Bodrum Yarimadasi' (SitRecID 31639). KBA boundary was revised in 2016 following new information on key habitats & IBA trigger species at the site.
