The Muğla Province of southwest of Turkey is much beloved for many reasons – its scenic beauty, historic sites and archaeological ruins, and the many, many attractions of its Turquoise Coast. The area including Köycegiz, Sarigerme, Marmaris, Göcek and Dalyan is particularly well reputed for its natural glory. Unfortunately, the pristine sanctity of this magnificent green cathedral is no longer sacrosanct, as on 13 December 2009, Akfen Energy, a Turkish company, began preparations to dam – some would say destroy – the Yuvarlakçay River, as a major step toward construction of a hydroelectric dam.

whl.travel is promoting a campaign to halt this project. Full information here

Please help by signing the online petition or in other ways - before its too late! (Note that once you sign the petition, a donation page appears. This has nothing to do with the Yuvarlakçay campaign. If you do not wish to donate, close the tab and you’re done.)
