As also pointed out, the park will contribute to the protection and strengthening of biodiversity, wildlife and the environment since the trees and bushes that will be removed for the purposes of the construction of the Park will be transplanted to new places and in cases of species that are removed and there is no possibility of transplanting they will be replaced with new ones in a number far greater than those removed. In addition, planting with species of Cypriot flora will be strengthened.
This important project is expected to be completed in 16 months.
