This came in a statement by Erdogan on the occasion of World Environment Day, which falls on June 5 every year.
Erdogan made it clear that every step towards protecting nature and the environment is one of the greatest blessings granted to humanity and the future of humanity.
He added that the spread of industrialization, technology and human-caused factors have devastating effects on nature and the environment.
He noted that a non-naturalistic approach would cause the most harm to humanity in the long run.
The Turkish president called on humanity to change its view of nature and the environment and work towards leaving a green world for future generations.
