Amid droughts caused by climate change, an expert has drawn attention to the importance of water resources and precautionary measures against its depletion.

Urban development is becoming a dire threat to Diyarbakır's Kabaklı Pond, home to around 150 bird species year-round and a hotspot for birdwatchers.

Located on the campus of Dicle University in the Southeastern Anatolian region of Diyarbakır, Kabaklı Pond has become an attraction for nature enthusiasts, especially birdwatchers, with its resemblance to a bird sanctuary.

With the weather turning colder in northern Europe, thousands of birds have migrated to Kabaklı Pond on the campus of Dicle University in the southeastern province of Diyarbakır, where they are expected to stay until spring, according to experts.
