The Lake Van Basin, home to many creatures with its climate, rich flora, high altitude and unique nature, harbors hundreds of butterfly species. The basin, which hosts the highest number of butterfly species in Europe and offers habitat to 220 of the 400 butterfly species identified in Turkiye, also draws attention with its endemic species that are in danger of extinction. “Rose's polyommatus”, which is known to live only in Van, is also among the butterfly species that attract attention.
