Abstract

There are legal regulations for the protection of birds at present, which are an important part of the ecosystem. In terms of Türkiye, it is seen that the effective legislation on bird conservation is the international conventions. Turkish domestic law contains effective regulations on hunting and trapping of birds, as well as secondary legislation on the protection and production of domestic birds. When the legislation is examined, it can be stated that there are inadequacies in the legislation, especially in the protection of urban wild birds. Within the scope of international conventions to which Türkiye is a party, there are regulations on the protection of migratory birds that also affect domestic law. Especially the protection of waterfowls and their habitats is carried out in the most effective way. Türjkiye is a party to conventions such as RAMSAR, BERN, PARIS, CITES, which include the protection of wild and migratory birds. However, Türkiye is not a party to the BONN Convention, and related treaties such as AEWA and ACAP, to which many countries are parties for the protection of migratory birds. Being a party to the BONN Convention and related treaties is very important for bird conservation.

Özet

Ekosistemin önemli bir parçası olan kuşlar hakkında günümüzde koruma amaçlı yasal düzenlemeler bulunmaktadır. Türkiye açısından ise kuşların korunmasına dair etkin mevzuatın uluslararası kaynaklı sözleşmeler olduğu görülmektedir. Türk iç hukuku kuşlara dair avlanma ve avcılık konularında etkili düzenlemeler içermekte, bununla birlikte evcil kuşların korunması ve üretimine dair de ikincil mevzuat düzenlemeleri bulunmaktadır. Mevzuat incelendiğinde özellikle kent içi yabani kuşların korunması konusunda mevzuatta yetersizlikler olduğu ifade edilebilir. Taraf olunan uluslararası sözleşmeler kapsamında göçmen kuşların korunmasına dair iç hukuka da etki eden düzenlemeler vardır. Özellikle su kuşlarının ve yaşam alanlarının korunması en etkili şekilde yapılmaktadır. Türkiye yabani ve göçmen kuşların korunmasını içeren RAMSAR, BERN, PARİS, CITES gibi sözleşmelere taraftır. Ancak yine göçmen kuşların korunmasında birçok ülkenin taraf olduğu BONN sözleşmesi ve buna bağlı olan AEWA ve ACAP gibi antlaşmalara Türkiye taraf değildir. Başta BONN sözleşmesi ve bağlı antlaşmalara taraf olması kuşların korunması konusunda oldukça önemlidir.
