Forests in Turkey
text:
Forests cover almost a third of Turkey. They are almost all state-owned, and vary from temperate rainforest in the north-east to maquis in the south and west. Pine, fir, oak and beech are common. After the glaciers retreated over ten thousand years ago woods grew to cover most of the land which is now Turkey, but over thousands of years people cut down many trees. The country is slowly reforesting, which is good both for the its wildlife, and to absorb carbon to help limit climate change. By the
