The DOKSAY Project is a multifaceted initiative aiming to deliver significant environmental, social, and economic benefits to Türkiye.
It seeks to develop low-cost, nature-based solutions to land management challenges. By combining traditional knowledge with innovative practices, the project plays a vital role in promoting environmental sustainability, rural development, and the fight against climate change. In particular, it supports the transition to a sustainable development model through more resilient and adaptive land use in the Eastern Black Sea Region.
