The residents of Gerger district in Adıyaman are demanding both the protection and the registration of the natural daffodil fields, spanning 20 acres, as a natural protected area. The natural daffodils, which grow in the rural area of Üçkaya Village in Gerger district, attract attention and interest from local tourists every year. The unique beauty and fragrance of the daffodils make them stand out among the natural wonders that appear for only two months each year. During this short period, the daffodil fields, with their vibrant yellow and white colors, continue to attract nature enthusiasts from nearby cities and different provinces in the region.
Nature lovers enjoy the picturesque scenery in the daffodil gardens, capturing plenty of photographs to immortalize this special period, and some even gather daffodils as souvenirs.
Request for the Protection of Daffodils
The local community is calling for measures to be taken to protect the natural habitat and beauty of daffodils. In response to the threats posed to this natural wonder, the residents are advocating for a 20-acre area where daffodils grow naturally to be designated as a natural conservation area. This designation aims to ensure the special protection of daffodils, preserving the natural riches of the region for future generations, and promoting eco-friendly tourism.
