Trees across Cyprus are experiencing significant die-off, a situation attributed to the impacts of climate change, prolonged drought conditions, and extreme heat, according to the Forestry Department. The issue has recently gained attention following social media posts that highlighted dead trees in the Athalassa National Forest Park, but officials clarified that this problem is not confined to that area and is seen across the island.

In response to the widespread tree mortality, the Forestry Department is implementing measures to mitigate the effects of this phenomenon. They assert that the situation should not be considered as a result of negligence from relevant authorities but rather as a national concern linked to broader environmental changes. The increase in temperatures and lack of precipitation in recent years have been identified as key contributors to this ecological distress, prompting the implementation of a new strategy aimed at addressing these challenges throughout Cyprus.
