Cyprus
Friends of the Earth Cyprus is a non-profit, non-governmental, environmental organisation, based in Limassol. The organisation was established in 1980 and since then has campaigned on a number of local, national, regional and international environmental issues. Our goal is to raise awareness on the importance of preserving the natural environment and to campaign for solutions to environmental and social problems by promoting sustainable policies. Friends of the Earth Cyprus is part of the Friends of the Earth International network. We are also a member of the Federation of Environmental and Ecological Organisations of Cyprus. Currently we have approximately 500 members. Also recently, we created the Youth Section of Friends of the Earth Cyprus, a group of young people concerned about their future and campaigning actively for it.
