Watch: How an orchard in Turkey survived a wildfire

A remarkable event unfolded in the northwestern Turkish province of Bursa, where an orchard managed to survive a devastating wildfire. Despite the surrounding areas being ravaged by the blaze, the orchard remained unscathed, a testament to the resilience of nature and the efforts of the local community. Footage captured the striking contrast between the charred landscape and the thriving orchard, which continued to bear fruit. Experts attributed this unique outcome to the orchard's strategic location, with natural barriers that helped contain the fire's spread, as well as the active involvement of local residents in protecting the area. The survival of this orchard amid the broader devastation serves as an inspiring example of how a combination of natural defenses and community-led efforts can help safeguard valuable natural resources in the face of environmental challenges.
