...KONYA, TÜRKİYE - JUNE 22, 2025: Cavuscu Lake, located in the Ilgin district of central Türkiye’s Konya province, is facing a severe ecological crisis as prolonged drought and low rainfall have drastically reduced water levels. Once a thriving freshwater lake, Cavuscu has receded so dramatically that two of its islands have merged with the mainland. Expanding marshes and reed beds now occupy much of the dried-out lakebed, where herds of sheep can be seen grazing. Local fishermen, who have long depended on the lake for their livelihoods, say they are struggling to find areas deep enough to cast their nets, as the shrinking waters render traditional fishing nearly impossible.
