The Kartalkaya Fire in Bolu and Human-Caused Disasters: Global Awareness and Local Solutions

Image
The recent fire in Bolu Kartalkaya has once again highlighted the devastating effects of human-caused disasters on both nature and human life. This tragic event serves as a stark reminder of how vulnerable we are to similar catastrophes, not only in Turkey but around the world.
