Society expects all those in charge, the Government and the Parliament, to rise to the occasion, applying both European and National Law regarding the protection of Akamas, says the Famagusta Initiative For Cyprus in a statement.
It calls for the Government to adopt the legally binding opinions of the environmental agencies and to preserve the natural and cultural heritage of Cyprus, through the protection of Natura 2000 sites. To this end, it notes, some of the proposed zones should be abolished or modified.
It also proposes that tourist and residential zones should not extend into Natura 2000 sites and that there should be no "development" interventions in or around the Akamas National Forest Park or Natura 2000 sites.
