Restoration efforts in Cappadocia, a pivotal tourism destination in Türkiye, have commenced on four iconic fair chimneys, aiming to preserve these natural wonders for another 5,000 years.

Lake Marmara in Turkey's western province of Manisa has almost dried up due to years of low rainfall and misusage of its water for agricultural purposes.

Created by the State Hydraulic Works (DSİ) for agricultural irrigation in 1945, the lake used to give an average of 150 million cubic meters of water per year to the Gediz Plain.
