Description: The objective of the project is to contribute to halting loss of biodiversity through improvement of restoration and management practices in the Amiantos asbestos mine, part of the Troodos National Forest Park, and a major part of the most valuable mountain landscape of Cyprus. The ultimate aim is to improve restoration practices, in terms of efficiency and conformity to EU Directives and to broaden their scope to sufficiently address biodiversity conservation and landscape improvement aspects.
