Policy influencing/advocacy To strengthen the legal defence of nature and ensure environmental justice, Doğa Derneği has been actively involved in training legal professionals and building networks for nature conservation. We organised the Law and Nature Schools, where lawyers from various regions of Türkiye attended. This has expanded our Law and Nature Network to 129 members. Additionally, we conducted training sessions across bar associations, involving 48 lawyers, to promote the spread of environmental legal awareness. We also hosted a series of webinars on Climate Justice, engaging 394 legal experts who explored issues such as the impact of climate change on vulnerable groups, gender, and future generations. A new Climate Justice Network was formed, with 115 legal professionals committed to learning more about these critical issues. On-going Full activity report
