What to bring from Turkey (Alanya)

Pfft. I took out the live ones in boxes in my hand luggage and nothing. Because the flight is a charter flight, or whatever it is... In general, the ticket is included with the flight, and the airport is not particularly inspected due to the fact that the ticket is tourist and this is organized by the tour operator. And the number was much larger.
This is not the transportation of narcotic substances, why are they so encrypted? All the same, there are all sorts of Turks sitting there who do not rummage at all. They took away the soil from me, but they didn't look at the grasshoppers nearby at all: P
And they probably took it away because of considerations that this may be a dangerous substance so disguised :D

Good girl! Keep insulting me. If you only knew how much more the Turks understand you.

People brought two dozen insects from Turkey and are happy. They share their experience. How wonderful everything went for them. You will first take out so-called 7 Ikea containers with material, and then give out tips. And you can tell us later if you were wet at the airport or not.

We need to be friendlier to each other!!

I calmly brought 2 large boxes with cotton mattresses from Turkey, flowing forms of minerals from caves in my luggage, and in my hand luggage there were live sea strombuses and a pair of huge freshwater crabs - everything flew perfectly and then arrived from Moscow domoy

And they probably took it away for reasons of the fact that it can be a dangerous substance so disguised :D

Import-export of soil is prohibited by the phytosanitary regulations of most countries.

Sorry to post this here

At the end of the article, they encourage everyone to knock on strangers in the forest.

And what can be done here?! The embassy would have helped, but they weren't up to it.

this is the result of optimistic reasoning. The previous well-known case-fees were listed up to carrion flies kalliforid (blow flies) - no difference, but here the men specifically knew what to go for-they managed to get bored in the national park of protected species, commerce. alas... In general, the risk had to be included in the expectations, up to fatal-they constantly travel around the world. They'll pay you where to go, you're not an axe to grind. That's just 77 thousand tur. lir is kind of like a lot of dofiga ((

Working in the national park without proper permits is always a risk. Big risk.

77502 Turkish lira fine! This is almost 29,000 pupaars or 1450000 rubles!

...what to argue, you, almost all, have one more life ... we don't have it anymore, but there is time of limitation (hope only for it) ... although there is nothing to regret... the land is not Turkey...there is plenty of work to be done. I will try to make more reports on Brazil and Australia, etc ... how it will be there, depends on me. You can put one X on a six-deck ship.
... and the size of the fine does not frighten me . Is it strange that you only have this?.. consider that this is the balance of funds on the ES card for new expeditions.

Yes, it's sad. I sympathize, although, according to you, there is enough work after that... And reports on trips to Australia and especially Brazil (for some reason I am very interested in it, but from the entomology side, so it is in general!) please write them. I would like to take a closer look at the local entomofauna.

what is all this written for? Do you consider yourself a great world explorer? show-offs and show-offs again!

I'm glad you got out of this relatively well.

Now Turkey is not the best place for "wild" fees. Recently, we had a Turkish colleague - even for a university employee, getting permission to gather in the national park is not an easy task.

Good luck!

That is, even if you are a Turkish citizen, plus a university employee, and decided to collect insects on the territory of the Turkish national park (without any export), then there may be problems with obtaining a permit?
I understand that any unauthorized fees in the national park are illegal, but is it really so difficult to get this permission there?

That's interesting, but why such difficulties?

You can, for fun, go there, but absolutely do not collect anything (if you hold back, of course), behave "extremely suspiciously" and see what happens, ask them these questions personally as a training session, etc.

We discussed the possibility of working together. As far as I understand, everything is possible, but the process of obtaining a permit is bureaucratic and requires time and effort. And this applies to every national park that you plan to visit, which greatly complicates matters if you want to drive around the country instead of sitting in one place.

As you know, nature needs to be protected from researchers.

PS. Very unpleasant news - colleagues said that they started to" shake " in Thailand, so much so that they spat and left for Malaysia.

Now they will shake in all countries that have joined the Nagoya Protocol. It is better to choose countries that have not yet joined this protocol. Fortunately, these are the most interesting and least studied countries in the third world. True, it is dangerous there even without nature lovers :D

... on the Internet you can buy a bald devil (regardless of the freaking country), now it's time for local people... they keep the insect market...free butterflies and beetles are over, prices will only grow...hard times are coming for collectors.
...but there is always a choice – photo hunting and nature observation have no limits.

All together we switch to stamps or collect only insects from Russia.

Now they will shake in all countries that have joined the Nagoya Protocol.

Turkey, by the way, did not join

Can you find out more about exactly how they were shaken in Thailand? How to behave in Turkey is already clear.

We arrived and stopped at the site in the national park. Everything is legal, baksheesh paid for parking. On the first day, the rangers began to show persistent curiosity - did you know that you can't collect anything? Are you sure you don't collect anything? I almost got a bump in the tent! Fortunately, nothing criminal was found, but, out of harm's way, after such a meeting, they wrapped up and left for Malaysia. There were no problems there.

I will note especially - there were no signs of collecting insects. Just Europeans came and camped in tents in the forest. Whether it was a "local inflection" or a general policy change is not known.

As far as I remember, fishing was always forbidden in national parks in Thailand without permits. And yes, "cadres decide everything": in one park, staff can calmly watch the collection of insects, in another-show their official zeal.

who would have thought it? Only I (and not only I) do not remember any cases when they were shmonali without any reason!

So I would like to know if this is a private initiative or something more.

I was told that, allegedly, in Thailand, the protection of national parks sits on a fixed salary, i.e. in the best Soviet traditions, they have no interest in having you on their territory. In Malaysia, on the contrary, security is financially interested in visitors.
