The “Her Daim Doğa Dostları” group (“Friends of Nature Always”) and the Cyprus Wetlands Community (Kıbrıs Sulak Alan Topluluğu) will hold a clean-up and awareness-raising event on Saturday, 12 September, at the Glapsides wetlands in Famagusta.

According to group chairman Yusuf Şentug, participants will gather at 06:30 by the Glapsides car park, and the event will end at 07:15. Logistical support is being provided by Famagusta Municipality and Oza Kahve.

Şentug emphasises that Glapsides is one of the city’s and nature’s most important sources of life: the wetlands serve as a resting place for migratory birds and remain a tourist attraction in Famagusta.

In addition, the wetland area absorbs excess water during heavy rain and protects Famagusta from flooding.
