The Pond and Hallett Nature Sanctuary

Urban development is becoming a dire threat to Diyarbakır's Kabaklı Pond, home to around 150 bird species year-round and a hotspot for birdwatchers.

Located on the campus of Dicle University in the Southeastern Anatolian region of Diyarbakır, Kabaklı Pond has become an attraction for nature enthusiasts, especially birdwatchers, with its resemblance to a bird sanctuary.
