PERMATURK
Foundation for Transitioning to Sustainable Life in Harmony with Nature
Permaturk Foundation is an NGO, established in Istanbul Turkey, which aims to demonstrate that, through education, experienced support and hands-on examples based on teachings of nature, it is possible to shift/return to a sustainable way of living.
