"The unusual acceleration observed in the consideration of the issue by our relevant committees confirms that efforts are being made to close the issue before the presidential elections," the Federation of Hunting and Wildlife Conservation said in a statement.
According to the Federation, "in a country that is under imminent threat of drying out from climate change and warming and has lost hundreds of square kilometers of habitat, forest and greenery to wildfires in recent years, and uncontrolled building in the countryside, with various pretexts and loopholes in the law, an unprecedented advance of the environmental steamroller of the concrete enforcement of the interests of some land destruction entrepreneurs in Akamas is being prepared."
He adds that the environment in Akamas, the last coastal green lung, must be preserved and communities and property owners who are losing development rights and for years have been subjected to pre-election mockery from all political sides must be compensated in a horizontal and equal manner.
The Hunting Federation says that with 200 clubs and thousands of votes it will not remain "impassive to the environmental crime that will be committed at the expense of future generations".
Finally, the Cyprus Federation for Hunting and Wildlife Conservation expresses readiness to cooperate "with all sound environmental and social bodies to save the environment or what is left and hand it over to the next generation".
