The existence of nature assumes the function of an important power source for humans and other living things to sustain their lives. The scenery offered by nature to living creatures is a factor with a high attraction potential that activates the tourists' pleasure of watching and provides the formation of touristic travel. The importance of this factor in terms of tourism is at a high level. Tourism planning and marketing are also directed on the basis of this factor. Nature is home to many plants and animals of different species and numbers. In addition, nature is an important source and determinant of hunting and wildlife.
