1000 fish were released into the pond in the ecological living area at MAKÜ

Under the leadership of Faculty of Science and Letters Department of Fisheries Faculty Member Prof. Dr. Şenol Güzel, 1000 fish were released into the pond in the recreation area under construction at the İstiklal Campus by students.

This work, carried out in line with MAKÜ's green campus goals, contributed both to increasing biological diversity and to creating an ecological area where students can connect more closely with nature.

The fish release event also aligns with the criteria evaluated under the 'Campus and Infrastructure' and 'Environmental Education' headings of the international sustainability index UI GreenMetric. Thus, the project contributes not only to environmental improvements but also to students' nature-based learning processes.

MAKÜ Rector Prof. Dr. Hüseyin Dalgar said the following about the work:

“With our living campus approach, we aim to create an educational and living environment in harmony with nature. Through this project, we aim to provide our students not only with academic knowledge but also with ecological awareness.”

This exemplary practice, carried out with consideration for the natural balance, will continue to be developed as part of the university's long-term sustainability plans.
