Who Cares About the Environement?

[Leonardo17]

This forest is probably suffering because of the low level of ground waters. I am hiking there on a regular basis. The temperature in this forest is usually 3-4 degrees bellow the ordinary heat of the City (Ankara). Some 20 years ago this was a suburban area of Ankara with less constructed sites (more ground water). + We had heavy snow in the 1990’s and early 2020’s. Beyond the ridge there is actually a lake (two lakes actually) which are keeping the whole area moisturized and less prone to fire. We even had heavy rainfall here a week ago. 




 
   But you can’t tell any of that to the vegetation. Prolonged temperatures beyond 95 Degree (35 degree Celsius) is a burden on the vegetation and the whole fauna living there. And the smallest mistake results in this kind of catastrophes. Darwin bless those helicopters and our firefighters who still managed to control the fire so quickly.
