Özet:    In order to carry out wildlife management efficiently, information about the number and distribution of the population should be obtained and regular inventory studies should be carried out. The use of UAV from remote sensing techniques that provide high quality data has increased considerably in identification of wildlife populations. In this context, an inventory study was conducted with the UAV technique of the Anatolian Wild Sheeps, which are the most important endemic mammal species in our country, within the boundaries of Bozdağ Wildlife Development Area (YHGS). PHANTOM-3 model UAV and Agisoft PhotoScan Pro software was used. Four different observation areas were determined for counting of Anatolian Wild Sheep and partial counting technique was used with direct observation method. As a result of the evaluation of the data, 585 Anatolian Wild Sheep were identified. The study is thought to be a base for other inventory studies, hunting and wildlife management.
