As it was explained previously, the forest management system of Turkey is very well organised with high level educated people and engineers. At the field level, the Forest Protection Officers and other workers play a crucial role for all kind of activities. They have direct contact to the villagers, reeves, shepherds, and other people and as well as all kind of flora and fauna. In Turkish system only the Forest Protection Officers has the right and responsibility to wear special uniform.  This is very important responsibility. They also carry private guns to protect themselves against any kind of dangerous situation.

So their engagement and involvement to the procedures and activities have an important role on succeeding the General Directorate of Forests aims. They are also responsible to conduct related activities against forest pests and diseases.
