The Chlorakas Environmental and Cultural Group (PPOCH), through its president Andreas Kyriakou, expresses strong concern and outrage over recent incidents of tree destruction in Paphos. PPOCH condemns the destruction of trees as an act of indifference and disrespect towards the natural environment, emphasizing that trees are sources of life and contribute to ecological balance. The President of PPOCH emphasizes that the responsibility for protecting natural wealth does not fall solely on the authorities, but concerns the entire society. The destruction of trees is considered not only an aesthetic crime, but also a serious blow to the environment and the quality of life of citizens. PPOCH points out that Paphos, with its special natural beauty and cultural heritage, does not deserve such images. Immediate awareness and action are needed to protect the trees and prevent similar incidents in the future. The PPOCH announcement is a call for collective responsibility and action to protect the environment, highlighting the importance of maintaining ecological balance and quality of life in Paphos.
