The Limassol mountains will see hunting banned in areas affected by recent wildfires, according to the Game and Fauna Service. This decision follows the devastating impact of the fires, which have left significant environmental damage in the region.

The prohibition extends across almost all fire-damaged areas, affecting both the migratory game period and the thrush hunting season. This measure is aimed at protecting wildlife and allowing the environment to recover from the devastation wrought by the flames.
Officials expect the process of declaring these zones as prohibited hunting areas to be completed within the next few days. As part of this initiative, the map of prohibited hunting areas will be updated on the Artemis Cy application, ensuring hunters have access to accurate information.
A spokesperson from the Game and Fauna Service highlighted that this ban is essential for the conservation of the affected wildlife, emphasising the importance of allowing nature to heal in the wake of such a catastrophe. The decision reflects a broader commitment to environmental preservation and responsible management of natural resources.
As hunters prepare for the upcoming seasons, this ban will require adjustments. The Game and Fauna Service is working to ensure that the new regulations are communicated effectively to all stakeholders involved.
