Nearly 5,000 rescued wild animals returned to nature in seven months

During the first seven months of 2026, Turkish authorities rescued and rehabilitated nearly 5,000 injured wild animals, releasing them back into their natural habitats. The effort was led by the Nature Conservation and National Parks (DKMP) General Directorate under the supervision of Agriculture and Forestry Minister İbrahim Yumaklı. The minister highlighted the case of 'Cesur,' a kestrel named by local children, as part of the campaign. Animals were treated for injuries caused by natural disasters, traffic accidents, or illegal hunting, with some being placed in permanent care if they could not survive independently. The DKMP collaborates with local governments, veterinary schools, and NGOs to manage wildlife emergencies and ensure proper rehabilitation.
