In the Eastern Anatolia, due to the conflicts between Turkey and PKK since the 1980s, forest fires break out and ecosystems and habitats are destroyed. The ecological destructions have shown that the colonial approach of the State is not only composed of oppression, violence and conflicts. As part of the new colonial intervention, natural assets were transformed into war vehicles and huge dam projects and security dams were built on the rivers. In the presentation, the reasons and the results of the conflict process will be discussed through the lens of the struggle and the resistance practices led by local people who have been forcibly displaced – including both mass protest and the foundation of local ecology/environmental associations, agro-seed communes, networks/unions jointly with the ecological struggles in Turkey and beyond.
