Campaigners point out the irony of trees being felled for coal in Turkey.
Turkish villagers have been sprayed with tear gas while attempting to protect the Akbelen forest from being cleared for coal this week.Locals from the Mugla region have kept a constant watch over 780 acres of woodland for two years where Turkish company YK Energy is seeking to expand coal mine.
As tens of thousands of people across the mediterranean region flee rampaging wild fires caused by the climate crisis,it is incomprehensible that a company is allowed to destroy a forest,one of the important carbon sinks to expand a coal mine.
