Of these, following one species (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is endangered, two species (Capra aegagrus and Ursus arctos) are vulnerable, two species (Spermophilus xanthoprymnus and Lutra lutra) are near threatened and others are least concern category according to IUCN. As a result of the findings, it was determined that rodents and carnivores have the highest rate of species in the study area and special efforts should be spent to protect important mammals in the priority areas, especially in Saray-Keçikayası, Çatak-Sak, Çatak-Dalbastı, and Gürpınar-Çepkenli villages.
