[Cyprus Times] 20 primary schools in Paphos and Limassol opened their classrooms to the Project Life with Vultures team

As part of their lessons, and despite the difficulties and limitations of the pandemic, a total of 20 primary schools from the Paphos and Limassol districts opened their classrooms to the Project Life with Vultures team and specifically to the officials of Terra Cypria - the Cyprus Foundation for the Protection of the Environment to be informed about the situation of the Vulture Vulture in Cyprus.

According to an announcement by the Foundation, the students were informed about the importance of the vulture for the biodiversity and ecosystems of the island, identified pressures and threats, developed critical thinking and proposed actions that will allow this species to continue to reign in the island's ethers.

The response, understanding and sensitivity of the students was very encouraging and we are particularly grateful to the teachers and school units, says the Association.

Also, in view of the release of the first 15 vultures, which have come from Spain, 4 primary schools (Pachnas, Palodia, Episkopi and Pissouri) were selected on a pilot basis to symbolically adopt one vulture each.

The pupils of these schools have given names to four Spanish vultures and will have the opportunity, in collaboration with the Life with Vultures project team, to follow their movements, but also to be informed about their adaptation status on the island in the coming months.
