dry stone walls

The PyrΑnankampsi/Alevlerden Gelecege Project, established under the Laona Foundation with Greek and Turkish Cypriot collaboration, has been completed after two years. It aimed at enhancing civic action in fire-affected communities across Cyprus, training over 650 participants in fire prevention and recovery techniques. The project, which received funding from the Active Citizens Fund Cyprus program supported by Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, as well as the A.G Leventis Foundation, involved around 470 Greek Cypriots and 180 Turkish Cypriots. It focused on rural areas in Larnaca, Limassol, Paphos, and the Pentadaktylos range, teaching participants SWOT analysis, and the construction of dry stone walls to prevent erosion. The project also involved tree planting with a focus on using heat-resistant trees and plants.
