The population of Lertha extensa, an endangered insect species found primarily in the east of the Southeastern Anatolia region and in select areas of Iraq, Iran and Armenia, has seen a notable increase.

The species, featured on commemorative coins in Russia due to its endangered status, has become a subject of scientific interest and conservation efforts.

A group of 12 scientists from Dicle University are documenting the biodiversity of the southeastern province of Diyarbakır's Hevsel Gardens, registered on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List.
