The contribution of UAVs to the management and contol of wildfires is also great.

Fighting fires at night, we create response strategies based on thermal images transmitted by UAVs and we are successful.

UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) are like our eyes in the dark.

[General Directorate of Forestry @Ogm_En]

For the first time in Europe, the General Directorate of Forestry started to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in 2020 for the early detection of wildfires and quick response to wildfires in different regions of Turkey.

By using thermal cameras of UAVs, we detect many wildfires in the early stages and prevent them from turning into a serious fire by responding as quickly as possible.

We have detected 234 wildfires across the country at the first moment by 1 UAV in 2020.

The wildfires in Antalya's Manavgat and Serik districts in 2008 had been recorded as one of the biggest wildfires in Turkey. The burned areas have been greened.

We will make every burned square meter of the green homeland green, just as we did in the past.

Antalya’nın Manavgat ve Serik ilçelerinde 2008 yılında meydana gelen yangın, yaşadığımız en büyük orman yangınlarından biri olarak tarihe geçmiş ve yanan orman küllerinden yeşertilmişti.

Yeşil vatanın yanan her metrekaresini dün olduğu gibi bugün de küllerinden yeşerteceğiz.

[General Directorate of Forestry @Ogm_En]

As always, we keep an eye on our forests from air and on the ground, with constant vigilance. Let's not forget that the risk of wildfire continues. Let's reduce the risk by being more careful and cautious across the country.

The foresters of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, who we always stand by with training and equipment support, support our fight against wildfire with the same effort.

There is no blaze that will not go out with this cooperation.
