LIFE - FOR BIRDS
Improving lowland forest habitats for Birds in Cyprus
The project had three major objectives:
- the implementation of conservation / management measures for the improvement of ecological conditions for selected bird species listed in Annex I of the Birds Directive occurring in the Natura 2000 (SPA) sites Kavo Gkreko (CY3000005), Koshi – Pallourokampos (CY6000009) and Stavrovouni – Potamos Panagias Stazousas (CY6000007),
- the implementation of these pilot conservation management measures to demonstrate to the Cypriot foresters and other stakeholders, the benefits of adopting a more holistic forest management approach that will address the needs of birds dwelling in or visiting the forest, and
- the enhancement of public awareness on the need to conserve wild birds and combating bird crime within the broader project area.
