In 1826, in response to the removal of a portion of the Janissaries Janissary revolt 
started gathering in Etmeydanı, soon applied to the inner Belgrade Forest; ineffective in 
getirilemeyin along cornered by the Janissaries 3 months were included in the forest fire 
circle. Thus, a significant amount of forest area with the rest of the Janissaries ring of 
fire is burned. This move was the first large-scale plunder the Fatih Forest encountered. 
Due to the next process in the uncontrolled felling of trees in the forest area of ​​12 
thousand hectares in 1840, while in 1870 this had fallen to 7 thousand 500 hectares. ---- 
Since then, the ongoing plunder policy today is continued under the guise of urban 
transformation. For example, in the 90s Sisli planning permission by Aslıtürk Gulay with 
the Mayor and licenses issued, and in countless trees, live hosts in the woods, "Park 
Forest" in the name, 1600-square-meter swimming pool, hiking and biking trails, picnic 
areas, a concert venue , amphitheater and a private hospital clinic (Memorial) was built.

Held off for a while, until 2001, Fatih Forest Park plunder also found in the forest, TOKI 
by Ali Agaoglu made in the land transferred to "Maslak 1453" was re-induced with the project.

Forest Park in 2008, "Nature Park" status was gained. Borusan Holding in 2008, the annual 
rented this space to 4 million pounds. In 2010, Aegean owned Serdar knowledgeable Tourism 
Real Estate Investment Co. Dogus Holding and partner of 29 years, and was transferred to 
740 thousand pounds annually. Park Forest, Forestry and Water Affairs for January 2014 
report was prepared by the Ministry, it was suggested that it would be given to the views 
of the nature of the massacre in the implementation of the project report. Report prepared 
by the 1st Regional Manager Branch Manager Haluk Özder was allegedly taken from Hope 
Cebeci task. Yes, decline to 740 thousand pounds 4 million, everything at the beginning of 
the process reveals: Knowledgeable and Şahenk, another plunder project for Istanbul, and 
"Galataport" known as Karaköy and Tophane Salıpazarı Cruise port area of ​​the joint to 
hire for 30 years.

1490 in acres "PARKORMAN Urban Forest Project", each of 250-300 m2 bungalow shaped 108 
villas, 18 thousand seat multipurpose room and upscale restaurants, shops, the building is 
planned to be in the form of 5-storey car park, is equivalent to 80 million euros. 
Accommodation, partially hidden in the woods texture, it will be partly new afforested 
area. Park exhibition grounds in the middle of the forest, playgrounds, jogging paths, 
swings, hammocks, to be held Ottoman and Japanese gardens. The last statement; "Forest 
Park in January, February ... we press the button to Galataport Park Forest will be a very 
important project for Istanbul. Weekend will be a place where the public can visit. 
Istanbul, unfortunately, began to have a social life consists of AVM (!), No right to a 
proper parking of living here. 50-50 Our partnership with Dogus Group in the project. We 
here in the Ministry of Water Affairs and Forestry kiracısıyız. Everyone thought we were 
planting trees cut skyscrapers. It will not be anything. We will do the most important 
parks in Istanbul. In the US, we will collaborate with architects have designed major 
parks "Speaking as Serdar knowledgeable," We will cut even a single tree "did not refrain 
from the mean. According to knowledgeable speech, marketing catalogs located in the 
four-storey villas, "tiny wooden houses" to the other is not something already!

Fatih Forest; in handle-sessile oak, Hungarian oak, hornbeam, beech, chestnut, maple, ash 
and wild boar, wolf, squirrel, coyote, which also harbors species such as foxes and moles, 
an addition to the Belgrade Forest, the other side of Park Istanbul where the Forest ' one 
of the few natural forests.
Garanti Bank, the main sponsor of the Black Sea from the ongoing construction of HPP 
'owner of a large part of s, Galataport Project won the tender with 702 million dollars 
partner is owned by Dogus Group, Park Forest "very important project," he already been 
confirmed. In case the implementation of the projects presented and the topography, 
vegetation and wildlife will suffer greatly, many will be exposed to the slaughter of 
certain trees.

Fatih Forest Project, 3rd bridge, here 3 until the airport, we the people of this land is 
looted more like a project habitats living in Istanbul, perhaps an unprecedented "facing 
Gentrification Project". Completely destroyed neighborhoods, TOKI buildings, residences, 
HPP construction, paths are confined into a double then a huge construction site. But the 
real scary side of business, a new city concept arising from this site. Although we have 
just seen an old fan of the well, the poor understanding of the new city, trees, street 
animals and cut off the culture that created them.

All things considered, it is already against the state itself of corruption and dirty jobs 
they do attack the companies that make invisible by painting green; We also poor, we 
"drift" who also desired to fight to share our living space falls to defend against these 
robbers.
