Coordinating beneficiary: Department of Environment Cyprus is among the top EU countries in terms of land area covered by the Natura 2000 network. This area is home to rare species of flora, fauna, birds and habitats, as well as endemic ones that are only found in Cyprus and need our protection to
avoid extinction. The primary objective of Pandoteira is to achieve and maintain a favourable conservation status for species and habitat types of community importance in Cyprus, through actions in the whole Natura 2000 network. The project will fill knowledge gaps for species and habitats, improve the governance of the network, exploit ecosystem services and implement action and management plans for species and habitats. It also aims to positively influence land users, owners, local population and other stakeholders in understanding the importance of the Natura 2000 network and embracing it.
