National Parks in Turkey
National Parks are the great places which I most like in Turkey. But National Parks have odd
esthetic. So that these places are important for somewhere and these places have lots of opportunities.
You miss lots of chance if you don’t go there. Because when people go there alone or with their
friend,family, they must pay money for taking a clear breath and speaking about something or sitting
in the clear weather and around the nature. But money’s value doesn’t equivalent the National Parks’s
value. Because we cannot change their fascinating image, natural beauties, spotlessly clean weather.
And also National Park’s have most important things of countries. Because these places are the
natural resources of all countries. So that countries must protect these parks.
I have a memory which was occured in National Park. When I was a child. I and my family
went to the Kus Cenneti National Park in Bilecik City. I entertained with my father, my mother, my
brother and my grandmother in this park every time. We did a picnic, we walked around the lake. I
played football with my brother. When our match finished, my mother was calling us for eating
something. One day while we were eating something after the match, a man who was so drunk hid
himself behind the tree whose height was very high. Then he fired his gun to the bird. At this time we
were scaring. And the gun’s voice was so noisy. Then he was running as soon as fired the gun. And
police came the event place. Police wanted to interrogate us. But my father was angry. My father said
that: How is he enter his gun? Can you answer it? Then police wanted something about the criminal.
And we gave information to the police. Then police arrested him. But the most important thing that if
lots of people saw this event, it could affect them.
In Turkey national parks have a fascinating image. To illustrate, if somebody go to the
Uludag National Park in winter, absolutely he/she can see the captivating snow image there. These
place like that an ice desert. And these parks are very big. In the other hand if they go to the Kus
Cenneti National Park they can see the definitely natural images. There are many kinds of birds which
are pelicans, geese, swans, ducks, nightingales, black storks and herons in there. These birds have
difference voice. But I like ducks’s voice like that vak vak. Also we can go to the Goreme Historical
National Park. This park has many natural opportunities like that forest’s greens, museums, kinds of
brown buildings. In this park nature and green connect with each other. So these parks are like that
Elysium.
Consequently, Turkey has got lots of big and great National Parks. And National parks have got
wonderful environments, and a fascinating nature and also clear weather. These properties give sense
power to the people. Because people feel very good themselves. And this events rebound their family
life or their work life etc. Besides these places provide psychical power with their beautiful
environments.So national parks which must be protected by people are the most important place for
all countries.
