Places to see in our country before they disappear
Anatolia, where some of the world's oldest settlements were established, has been home to many different and ancient civilizations and cultures for thousands of years. Each civilization established on these lands has left such lasting traces and monuments that even today, our country has numerous historical artifacts. In addition, due to its location, Anatolia has one of the most beautiful geographies in the world. And nature has spared no beauty from these lands.
Today, our country hosts countless natural and historical beauties. However, unfortunately, there are natural and historical beauties that are on the verge of disappearing due to unconscious use and environmental destruction in recent years. Therefore, act quickly. In addition to raising awareness, there are many places you need to see and visit before they disappear. Here are a few of them:
• One of the most important of these places is undoubtedly Hasankeyf, located in the Tigris Valley. Hasankeyf is the only place in the world that meets 9 out of 10 UNESCO World Heritage criteria. But unfortunately, it is facing the threat of extinction due to dam construction and other reasons. Hurry up, go see the area and do your best to stop this danger. Raise your voice.
• Another beauty is Lake Tuz. Especially the Ereğli Basin of Lake Tuz is drying up. Unfortunately, due to dam construction and drilling wells, drought is very close. Moreover, in this place, which is one of the breeding areas of flamingos, birds have been absent in recent years due to drought. Go, see, and photograph before it completely disappears.
• Konya Akşehir Lake is also one of our beauties that is drying up. The water level decreases every year, due to its use for irrigation of agricultural lands. Hurry up to see this beauty in person rather than in photographs.
• Lake Burdur is another one of our natural beauties. However, in recent years, its water has decreased significantly due to drilling wells. This situation has also affected the ecological balance in the region. It is beneficial to visit the region as soon as possible, as it is on the verge of losing its ecological characteristics.
