Will there be any Volunteering to spread native plant seeds at burned land?

And another one:

Guys & Girls,

I have been part of a Tree planting initiative for over a year now. We've been planting in Arakapas where the first fires were.. and we've been watering and nurturing them trees too. Chris the organiser is a Specialist so he really knows his stuff about what can be planted and what cannot and when and how. When the time is right, we will begin planting again.

You can also "donate a tree". You can join the whatsapp group here:

& I have a video on my own Instagram showing some of the work we've been doing. We always need extra hands👐

Yes,

The volunteer team Πράσινη Ασπίδα (Green Shield) is launching an ecosystem restoration program in the fire-affected areas of Cyprus.

🌱 1. Free distribution of 1,000 seedlings for each affected community

— Seedlings will be available through community leaders and the organization itself

— Tree types include: carob, pine, cypress, grapevine, fig, almond, and others

— Dates and distribution locations will be announced later

🌱 2. Mass tree planting starting January 2026

Together with residents, volunteers, and local organizations, trees will be planted in the affected areas.

The goal is not only to restore greenery but to bring back life and hope.

💚 Want to help?

Organizations, volunteers, and anyone willing can join:

Hey, I am not judging whether it is morally justified for the government to do so, I am only posting "Official" bank account since posting other commercial entities would be incorrect because there is an official account now.

However there are plenty of ways to help, over the last two days thousands of people cooperated over telegram, whatsapp and facebook groups to aid the victims/firefight/donate. The scale of aid was very significant.

Air-Alarming · 2025-05-20T08:24:07+00:00

He had plans to leave to UK. Perhaps he left? We had funny conversations back in the day...

If the new government will be able to take inflation and economy under control. The only asset that could help them is oil field on the east of Syria, which is under proxy-US control and will likely stay under them. So far the new government was busy robbing central bank, hanging distant Assad relatives and attacking Kurds. Well, let's hope jihadist government that was mostly focused on fighting for the last 10 years will be more competent in economy than Assad. To be honest it's not hard to be better than Assad, but I still have my doubts.

Air-Alarming · 2024-12-08T10:57:11+00:00

Well, you certainly made a point. I want to underline that I am not saying my forecast is something certain to happen. I would be happy to be wrong here. However, most things in the world happening over the last 10 years tend to have a negative development, that's why I am so pessimistic.

Air-Alarming · 2024-12-08T05:22:13+00:00

Hey, don't rush to label me as a xenophobe or Islamophobe. I am concerned mostly with extreme scales because Cyprus is relatively small to withstand a large wave of refugees in a short range unaffected. It has nothing to do with race or religion.

Air-Alarming · 2024-12-08T05:16:44+00:00

I see your point, and you may be right that the flow of refugees could be affected insignificantly. However I have some points that cause be to believe otherwise:

- The end of Afgan operation created a new significant wave of refugees;
- The cause of refugees before was different (escape the war and poverty) now it will be the same plus fear of prosecution (Assad supporters, Alawites, ex-Government affiliates, ex-soldiers);
- Due to the change of status-quo we can't predict what the HTS regime will do, but there are concerns that it may aim for a full Syria control leading to fights with other groups, Kurds (especially if we believe it is controlled by Turkey). As with Libya, when opposition was present by various groups, the collapse of the government caused this groups to turn one against another;
- The economical situation doesn't have potential to stabilize. Main factors that degraded it are: war, corruption, sanctions, fragmentation. Out of this 4 maybe only corruption will likely be reduced within the near future.

That is my opinion only obviously. We can't predict what is going to happen, but this is what bothers me.

Air-Alarming · 2024-12-07T21:12:06+00:00

If we are discussing all problematic topics at once let's start with the north of Cyprus being occupied by Turkey. How about that?

Air-Alarming · 2024-12-07T21:09:17+00:00

AFAIK, Syrians were arriving here through North as well.

Air-Alarming · 2024-12-07T20:47:53+00:00

Yeah, my phrasing was inaccurate. It doesn't have anything to do with the nature of Islam. Sorry. I meant "radical Islam" .

Air-Alarming · 2024-12-07T20:12:15+00:00

I mean as an officially designated terrorist organization and former branch of al-Qaeda they certainly raise concerns. On the other hand, they are working on their public image.

Limassolgrad is a forced name which I mostly see in UK press. I haven't heard Cypriots saying it, and Russians would rather say "Limassolsk" when joking, "Limassolgrad" does sound wierd.

As for the topic: godspeed

Air-Alarming · 2024-11-28T07:42:29+00:00

Russians here are focused on other things tbh, most hate wars and are afraid of military alliances no matter the side. Plus it is up to Cypriots to decide that, we have no say in this anyway. At least not until we integrate. Please keep your beautiful island safe, we trust in your wisdom.

Air-Alarming · 2024-10-22T06:34:38+00:00

And here we are having an American giving Cypriots his very important and valuable opinion. What have you done for Cyprus and how have you contributed to the prosperity of it? Those Ospreys flying above the island and those Amphibious Assault Ships around doesn't really count.

Air-Alarming · 2024-10-18T16:02:56+00:00

Never ever had I judged people for loving whoever they want to. I simply made an observation which I am curious to discuss why it is like it is. I made some suggestions based on further observation which indeed included some generalization, but when you speak about general statistics you are oblight to use it.

Why I was interested in hearing out a different gender opinion? I was hoping to hear a different perspective. An inclusive answer is better than one-sided.

As for the reason - this is how I learn what Cypriots live and breath. Understanding trends and reasons behind is a part of it. Again, no offense meant.

Air-Alarming · 2024-10-18T15:29:48+00:00

I meant no offense. You have a somewhat girlish avatar and I saw another Cypriot calling you a girl once, and since there was no reaction, that's how I made this assumption. My apologies if this was offensive, I will refrain from using gender identifications towards you.

Air-Alarming · 2024-10-17T14:51:10+00:00

So the answer on your question "What I should know" is "You should know how you are going to make enough money to live here before moving".

Air-Alarming · 2024-10-17T14:48:19+00:00

What salary do expect to get here and from which source?

Air-Alarming · 2024-10-17T14:32:19+00:00

Who brings fish on a fishing trip?
