The Nature Conservation Unit of Frederick University visited the Kykkos B’ Lyceum in Nicosia, on January 28, 2025. The reason for this visit was to present the topic of climate change and its impact on the environment like habitats, flora and fauna species.
Students participating in the European Parliament Ambassador School Programme and the Erasmus+ Programme attended the presentation and were involved in a very interesting discussion. Teenagers from Cyprus, Greece, Serbia and Austria expressed their thoughts about how they themselves perceive climate change, how this affects the environment and in which way youth can act.
The presentation was held in English and a reference was made about the value of the Natura 2000 network and the importance of its management for the protection of habitat types and species of flora and fauna. The pupils were also informed about the Pandoteira project, its dissemination and awareness-raising activities and about how the youth can be involved to help the work of scientists and decision makers.
