The risk of mountain accidents has recently increased as people who go to nature have not been trained about life in nature.
A Turkish expert said mountains are more likely to be polluted as more people engage in outdoor mountaineering sports during situations like the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking to Anadolu Agency, on eve of the International Mountain Day observed on Friday, Ersan Basar, head of the Turkish Mountaineering Federation said that people who stay indoors prefer to go to nature during the pandemic.
