A campaign to protect Bodrum’s last free-flowing stream.

With construction spreading fast and ecological damage mounting, the project researched Kavakderesi’s biodiversity, its archaeological value and its importance for farming and livestock, and brought them to public attention.

The project produced a 20-minute documentary and a social media campaign, and held meetings with local residents. In June 2024 a workshop and forum in Dereköy brought together experts, local authorities, NGOs and residents, and its recommendations were shared with public institutions.
