Welcome to the Doga Dernegi
Caucasian Black Grouse Project web site.
Of the many birds of North-east Turkey and the Caucasus, the Caucasian
Black Grouse is one of the most intriguing and least known. The combination
of stunning scenery – towering snow-capped mountains, dense forests,
flower-rich alpine meadows – and the difficulty in actually seeing
one - often it is just a small black spot on a distant mountainside
- make it an exciting challenge but one which is well worth the effort.

throughout the Caucasus but in addition to the birds themselves,
Caucasian Black Grouse can be considered a flagship for the conservation
of the wide variety of wildlife that lives on the high mountain
tops.
