Abstract
Situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Türkiye has a diverse and rich biodiversity. The number of Odonata species identified from Türkiye so far is approximately 73% of the total number identified in Europe. Twenty-one taxa (15 species and 6 subspecies) were first described from Türkiye. The country lies at the intersection of three global biodiversity hotspots – Caucasus, Irano-Anatolian, and the Mediterranean Basin – which overlap geographically with the type localities of the Odonata species described in the country. These regions, where species diversity is high, also host endemic Odonata species. Three taxa (Calopteryx waterstoni Schneider 1984, Cordulegaster amasina Morton 1916, and Cordulegaster kalkmani Schneider et al., 2021) are endemic to Türkiye. The presence of endemic species in biodiversity hotspots, where original habitats have been lost at an alarming rate, highlights the urgent need to assess their conservation status according to the IUCN Red List categories. Ensuring the long-term conservation of Odonata biodiversity in Türkiye depends on sustainable protection programs that address pollution, habitat fragmentation, and overexploitation of the remaining relatively natural freshwater ecosystems.
