Utter Rubbish.
The Monk seal was never native to Cyprus.
It's like blaming the Cypriot construction boom for the decline in Siberian Tigers.

All these villas and hotels are so fucking ugly as well. Seriously. Cyprus could become such a beautiful spot for being one with the natural enviroment, if they would put all the money they use for these concrete shits to nurture the enviroment we have here, Cyprus could really have a solid tourist attraction for an eco-themed holiday. Instead the government thinks that we are Ibiza and that this island can survive on shitty villas and all-inclusive hotels. Shame.

Cypriot Tourism is greed orientated.
It's short term strategic policies have started to erode the island. Cyprus will not be able to sustain this industry unless it radically changes it's actions.
We can do so - however with blinkered vision being the status quo...nothing short of an Extinction Rebellion movement will suffice...

The fishery department should take a look at local fishing boats who put there nets out not even 20 meters away from the shore line. That should help protect seals and other fish that come close to shore for breading. It's about time you eat your wages and get out there and see what there doing since you give the the licenses. Nice video but dont put all the blame on others, do your job too.

2.5 million for a passport vs. the life of a whole species... And this is happening in Europe. Very well done

This problem is unfortunately based on bad planning.. Since the number 1 income of Cyprus is tourism it is normal to invest to this department... this is not right though... the sad part is that people only come for these luxurious hotels and tourist attractions... Cyprus does not really have that much of nature to protect or to promote for tourists ... and this is really sad again because of mistakes people did in the past... I am totally against this tourist expansion to be honest but still not much work is done to find new sources of income... Destroy tourism in Cyprus and you basically doom the people there...

How is possible to built a complex of villas in area that is protect by nature 2000? In Cyprus everything is possible that’s why we have capital controls and Troika to take care of us.
