🔥 When wildfires leave scars on the land, Türkiye steps up with a plan that's nothing short of legendary! 🌳🇹🇷
This week, the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry made a groundbreaking pledge: to plant over 500 million seeds and saplings annually. Yes, you read that right—half a billion new trees every year! 🌲🌿
Minister Ibrahim Yumakli is spearheading this green revolution, aiming to restore the country's lush forests that have been damaged by frequent wildfires. \"We are committed to healing our land and protecting our future,\" Yumakli announced. 🌱💚
But they're not stopping at planting trees. Understanding that prevention is better than cure, Türkiye is also beefing up its firefighting arsenal. The ministry has ordered eight brand-new firefighting helicopters, set to soar into action by 2028. 🚁🔥
With these moves, Türkiye is not just planting trees—it's sowing seeds of hope for a greener and safer future. 🌍✨
So here's to Türkiye's epic reforestation quest! May their forests grow tall, their skies stay clear, and their commitment inspire nations worldwide. 🌳🌟
