Gendarmerie Continue To Protect Mining Company In Akbelen Forest - Turkey

Local residents and environmental activists demonstrated for the 9th day on August 01, 2023, against the deforestation project of the 750-decare century-old pine forest, intended to expand a lignite field in the forests of Akbelen in Ikizkoy, Mugla, Turkey, leading to clashes with Turkish gendarmerie. The protest began after YK Energy, co-owned by Limak Holding and İCTAS operating the Yeniköy and Kemerköy thermal power stations, had obtained the necessary permissions to open 750 decares of land within the Akbelen forest in İkizköy to convert it to an open coal mine providing lignite for the thermal power stations.
