In the area of the Gavkhuni Wetland, we expect to find the Greek tortoise (spur-thighed tortoise) in the habitats of the northern, eastern, and southern parts. However, recent droughts and the decline in plant cover have affected the presence and density of amphibians in the wetland area.
Over the recent years, not much research has been done about the amphibians of the Gavkhuni International Wetland. The information available is based on older data and scattered studies.
