KEMA, or the Cyprus Foundation for Combating Soil Erosion, for Reforestation and the Protection of Natural Habitats, was formed by around 40 people under the leadership of Dr. Orhan Aydeniz in 2005, amidst growing concern about the deforestation and destruction of natural habitats throughout North Cyprus.
Having only been in existence for a short amount of time, they are becoming well known in North Cyprus, encouraging the public to become involved in the long term future of the country, and educating them on the heritage and importance of Cyprus’ resources as well as what will unfortunately happen should things not change for the better in the near future without the help and support of everyone.
KEMA invites the public to become members and join in the efforts to protect the environment and they can be contacted via email at info@kibriskema.org and their website www.kibriskema.org/eng.htm in both Turkish and English, or by telephone on +90 (0)392225 57 54 or +90 (0)542 856 10 56.
