The enthusiastic public response made it clear that this visual record deserved a more permanent form. For this reason, three SUFOD members revisited the material collected between June and September 2025, re-evaluated it according to the exhibition criteria, and selected 104 high-resolution photographs representing 38 species to create an e-book. This week, we published the e-book electronically in both Turkish and English, in PDF and EPUB formats. It is freely available for download at the link above.
