COŞKUN BAYRAKTAR NATURE CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION (CBADER)
The Coşkun Bayraktar Nature Conservation Association contributes to the protection of nature, natural resources and cultural heritage through direct or indirect education, research, study, project and implementation work.
To achieve this goal, the Association aims to strengthen the relationship between people and nature, to promote natural values and foster love for them, to spread awareness of protecting natural and cultural assets, and to draw public attention to environmental issues.
CBADER also carries out Ex-Situ Conservation work to ensure the survival of endangered predators at Aslan Park, the first and only big cat park in Turkey and the surrounding region, and at ViaSea Aquarium, Turkey's first and only climate-themed aquarium, both operating under its umbrella.
With its conservation mission, Aslan Park serves as a living gene center and natural sanctuary for endemic species whose numbers are declining in the wild, above all the White Lion, of which only 30 remain in the world.
If you would like to contribute to our work as a member of the Coşkun Bayraktar Nature Conservation Association, we would be delighted to welcome you.

MEMBERSHIP FORMCONSERVATION PROGRAM
Conservation programs aim to protect species whose survival is at risk outside their natural habitats and to ensure that they breed.
Today, ex-situ conservation programs aim to expand breeding programs and increase species populations by working with other conservation facilities rather than taking animals from the wild.
Home to 32 big cats of 10 different species, Aslan Park protects a total of 9 endangered species listed below, two of which are native to Anatolia.

ADOPT AN ANIMAL
You can join CBADER's "Adoption" program to support the care of the endangered big cats we protect at Aslan Park.
Contributing to the care of one of our big cats through adoption is one of the most effective ways to protect these endangered animals.
As animal lovers, you can help sustain wildlife and raise strong awareness by adopting one of our endangered friends on behalf of yourself or your loved ones.
