The Plan provides the framework for biodiversity and landscape conservation, sustainable use of natural resources, monitoring, and the management of activities within the protected area. It also provides a clearer basis for balancing nature conservation with traditional uses, sustainable development and visitor activities.

The approval of the Plan strengthens the tools for effective management of the area and supports an integrated approach to safeguarding Karaburun’s ecosystems, requiring continued cooperation among responsible institutions, local communities and other stakeholders.
