Environmental terrorism, which can be defined as the use and destruction of the environment as a weapon to achieve political ambitions, has been practiced by the PKK (Kurdistan Workers&amp;#039; Party) terrorist organization since the 90s. The PKK&amp;#039;s sabotage and forest fires, which are observed to increase especially during periods of effective results in the fight against terrorism, are preferred as a terrorism strategy because they can be carried out with few people and at a low cost.
