'Planned Action' Will Be More Effective Than Rapid Reforestation.


According to experts, planned action will be a more accurate and effective move than rapid afforestation. It is stated that different species brought from outside to the burned areas will cause ecological deterioration.

Turkey has been fighting fires at different points for days. While considering how to respond to fires, it was also a matter of curiosity how the ecosystem in the burned areas would be restored. So, is it the right time to plant saplings since the first day of the fires?
 
Istanbul University Forest Botany Department Lecturer Prof. Dr. Ünal Akkemik emphasized that the ecosystem in the burned forests should be regained and said that the area should be given an opportunity to recover itself first. In addition, he said  “For this, it is necessary to think in a planned way, instead of going for a quick afforestation with the effect of populist approaches and social pressures. Afforestation with other species brought from other places also leads to ecological deterioration.''
