Our country is also among the riskiest regions because of its geographical location. We need to realize that the climate change is not only associated with natural phenomena, but also with the right to live. Every year, the contest receives quite impressive photos depicting many scenes ranging from living creatures that died in drying lakes to giant lightnings and natural phenomenons. We have huge responsibilities to fulfill in this regard. The increased interest in the contest we have held for 7 years aiming to raise public awareness on the climate change is the indicator that we are on the right track".
