Support to the reforestation of the fire-damaged areas of the METU Atatürk Forest

Environment is one of the top priorities of the European Union. The Union works for preserving nature and biodiversity, having cleaner air and fighting climate change. For attaining all these goals, forests play a key role.

Caring for and expanding the areas for forests are not only important for the EU citizens but also for the Turkish people. In order to underline the importance the EU gives to environment issues and support the forestation efforts in Turkey, the Delegation of the European Commission to Turkey decided in 2008 to contribute with 5000 trees to the “Reforestation of the fire-damaged areas of the METU Atatürk Forest” in Turkey.
