194 surveillance cameras in 97 observation towers are
utilized in order to detect fires automatically in the areas
13
that are vulnerable to forest fires.
In order to improve biological control
against forest pests, annually based on
the requirements;
we produced an average of more than
600.000 beneficial insects and released
into the forests, we mounted 50.000 bird
nests on trees and transferred an average
of 150 beneficial ant nests.
We also support other countries for
combating forest pests
We share our experiences in combating
forest pests with Georgia, Kyrgyzstan,
Albania and Turkish Republic of Northern
