THE  DEFENSE  OF  NORTHERN  FOREST

Kuzey Ormanlari Savunmasi

We have been struggling to protect the last standing forest of Istanbul against three unnecessary mega projects. Just to summarize what’s happening here:

–> A bridge, an airport and a huge canal from Black Sea to Marmara Sea is imposed by the government,

–> Civil Institutes, Scientists and environmentalist are against the projects,

–> The bridge has started to be built with its ways passing in the middle of forest. Millions of trees are cut down,

–> The airport and the canal is planned to start next year.

Here you can find photos from our protests and the forests being cut down :
