I travelled to Istanbul in turkey to see the history and ecology of the Belgrad forest. The forest is very large at around 5,300 hectares containing many nature parks itself and is home to a plethora of bird, animal and plant species. The forest is named ofter thousands serbians who were dsiplaced from the city of belgrade during the ottoman era. The forest was crucial to Istanbul's water supply during the byzantine and ottoman periods making the forest a stunning combination of nature, old ruins, aqueducts and dams.
The Ataturk Aboretum within the forest forms a living museum and collection of the most important and fascinating species across different continents such as endangered redwoods to ginkgos and bird of paradise flowers, some of which are only found here at the Aboretum! This was all created to aid research at the university of Istanbul.
