Environmental disaster in Antalya: Construction underway in protected area

On the famous cliffs of Antalya, where a Mediterranean monk seal was swimming yesterday, construction noises began to rise today.

According to a report by journalist Yusuf Yavuz, it was observed that concrete was being poured for an elevator to be built on the beach used by a 5-star hotel in the area. This situation has been met with backlash from environmentalists.

CONSTRUCTION IN A PROTECTED AREA

The area in question is known as a designated protected zone intended to preserve natural life. The start of construction work in this region, which is also a habitat for the Mediterranean monk seal and a point of high environmental sensitivity, has sparked major controversy. Environmentalists are concerned that the natural balance in the region will be damaged.

It was stated that the construction work consists of building an elevator to the hotel's beach and concrete pouring operations. This situation has raised questions that are significant in terms of both natural life and the protection of the region.
