- Abstract
During the field and monitoring studies carried out in 352 different localities between 2013 and 2014, a total of 25 species were recorded by direct and indirect observation techniques in Van province in the East Anatolian Turkey. Of these, following one species (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is endangered, two species (Capra aegagrus and Ursus arctos) are vulnerable, two species (Spermophilus xanthoprymnus and Lutra lutra) are near threatened and others are least concern category according to IUCN. As a result of the findings, it was determined that rodents and carnivores have the highest rate of species in the study area and special efforts should be spent to protect important mammals in the priority areas, especially in Saray-Keçikayası, Çatak-Sak, Çatak-Dalbastı, and Gürpınar-Çepkenli villages. This dataset provides reliable records that contribute to increasing knowledge on the distribution of mammal species in Van.
