A wildlife rehabilitation centre, an open air nature school, a lavender field and more: Lisinia in southwest Turkey welcomes eco tourists
“We started Lisinia in 2005,” says Ozturk Sarica, “after we lost five people from our family to cancer.” The vet believes a proximity to nature keeps ailments and cancer away.
In 2019, Sarica oversaw 400,000 visitors to his centre. “Because of the pandemic, we have had fewer visitors, around 250,000 people, this year.” “If you are wondering what wild animals have to do with living clean, well, they are the ones that are profoundly affected by dangerous chemicals. They don’t survive, they dieAnother aspect of the Lisinia project is its “zero chemical” production – it makes use of natural ingredients and environmentally-friendly agricultural applications. Sarica says harmful chemicals are widespread in agricultural pesticides and have serious side effects, nominally, cancer.
Sarica also stresses the importance of the volunteer project he has created. “Every year we have about one thousand volunteers from Turkey and beyond,” he tells TRT World. “Because of the pandemic, this year we have fewer people participating,” he adds.
