# Talk:Forests in Turkey

Need something like page 5 of https://www.fao.org/3/CA3505EN/ca3505en.pdf Chidgk1 (talk) 09:27, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Forestry in the United Kingdom

Might be useful to add more from page 19 Chidgk1 (talk) 07:42, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Perhaps add more from Kırça Çolak re history regions e.g. p216 and 221 Chidgk1 (talk) 09:05, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

They suggest:
relevant strategies and action plans should include targets to reduce and adapt to the effects of climate change on forest ecosystems, as well as targets that clearly outline the role of forests in terms of carbon storage.
A holistic afforestation action plan should be developed, taking into account land degradation, and in this action plan, potential areas suitable for afforestation through afforestation in Turkey should be identified, taking into account the current land use situation, socio-economic conditions and ecological balances, and the work to be carried out in these areas should be planned.
Legal regulations that directly lead to a decrease in forest area should be abolished, the issue of allocation of forest areas to non-forestry uses should be reviewed, and the issues of climate change and carbon storage of forests should be included in national forestry legislation, especially the Forest Law and the National Parks Law.
Although carbon pricing and emission reduction are essential in the context of combating the climate crisis and the net zero emission target, projects based on "biotic carbon sequestration" are also increasingly of critical importance. In this context, systems and mechanisms that will increase the contribution of private sector organizations and encourage investments for carbon sequestration should be established. For example, improving existing afforestation incentive practices, so that the carbon captured by LULUCF practices can be used for offsetting purposes.
Studies such as establishing an integrated system with ETS or establishing a National Afforestation Certification System can be carried out. These certification and trading systems and mechanisms for the LULUCF sector must observe environmental honesty, transparency and contribution criteria; Establishment in compliance with global standards and international validity; It is important to make the necessary arrangements to integrate it into international certification systems.

Seems like not 2024-2028 not yet translated - check back later at https://www.ogm.gov.tr/en/stratejik-plan and if translated replace Turkish one cited and see if more info from it should be added to article - maybe goals and KPIs from exec summaryChidgk1 (talk) 08:37, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

@S Marshall or anyone,
Do you think I should make a separate list like List of forests in the United Kingdom or list them here or is the existing category enough? Chidgk1 (talk) 09:33, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedians have thought about this a lot (at WP:CLN) and the community has decided that wherever there's a category, it's often useful to have a list as well (see WP:NOTDUP).  Make the list sortable.  Personally I would put it in this article, rather than make users click somewhere to find it.—S Marshall T/C 16:39, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

I would like to cover trees in general including the Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub and trees in grassland and urban trees in the country.
Should I rename the article or explain the scope somewhere in it? Chidgk1 (talk) 11:01, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

@S Marshall Any thoughts? Chidgk1 (talk) 14:46, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
