Plan to protect island’s wetlands to be complete by year’s end
February 2, 2022
The code for the management and protection of wetlands in the island will be ready before the end of 2022, providing for the restoration of degraded areas and promoting research, Agriculture Minister Costas Kadis said on Tuesday.
“The importance of wetlands is immense and multi-dimensional, as they are not only an irreplaceable indicator of the quality and sufficiency of a country’s groundwater, but also make a crucial contribution to ensuring food and clean water, protecting against flooding and erosion, and stabilising the coastline,” Kadis said.
