Re: Argaka dam overflows

The picture was taken from the upper road, the bottom right of the photo is the overflow from behind. Your photo is taken from a different position. I live grew up in this area and visit the dam (before Covid) on a daily basis to walk!

Re: Ayia Napa is Gearing Up!

But you support the planned touristic park in the latchi/neo chorio area, I disagreed that this was good for the area and received negative response because I don’t be
I’ve this kind of change is good for this relatively unspoilt area but now nature and unspoilt cyprus is no.1 ?

Re: EC warns Cyprus over impact of development in Natura 2000 sites

Personally I would prefer that things stay the way they are! No theme park, no motorway! If we could turn the clocks back by 40 years then we would be in paradise! We don’t need theme parks to encourage visitors or motorways to get the visitors there quicker! Nature is number one and to destroy any ...

Re: 2021 opening planned for Neo Chorio theme park

Rubbish can be cleaned up, a farm is by far, more important than a theme park! For goodness sake the world is full of these places. Leave the natural beauty as it is and let the people who enjoy peace and quiet have something too! It’s diabolical that we take from nature for the financial gain of a ...

Re: 2021 opening planned for Neo Chorio theme park

I think it is very sad to wake up this sleepy area with such developments! I love the natural beauty and think this area should be protected as much as possible!

Re: Argaka mukhtar stops conservationists again

My understanding is that they have permits for the beds. I do know that the management of St Barbara are true animal lovers who respect the turtle nests. Even though I am not a lover of any development that might interfere with the nesting area I cannot criticise their respect for the turtle nesting.

Re: Argaka mukhtar stops conservationists again

From my understanding turtle conservation began in the late 70’s. But thank you for the lesson in politics from my country. I remember Latchi very well as I grew up in the area and know both Nestoras and Averof who was in my class at school.

Re: Argaka mukhtar stops conservationists again

I was living there near the coastal stretch from Limni pier until St.Barbara beach until 2010 and the facts are, that due to the heavy pollution from Limni Mine activities, I have never seen turtles there. Also at St.Barbara beach where I had at least 50 times fish and chips that time, nobody had s...

Re: Argaka mukhtar stops conservationists again

The Muhkta wants local people to be trained to do the job and to work together with the official team. Even though there has been a lot of bad press recently there is no doubt that he is aware of the importance of this area as a turtle nesting ground.

Re: Argaka mukhtar stops conservationists again

Many turtles nest along this stretch of beach there is absolutely no doubt about it! But the argument is much deeper than what is being reported. It has nothing to do with preventing the turtles from nesting but to do with the local mukhta wanting local people trained and involved with the protectio...
