Cyprus row over threat to dig up protected turtle nests

Nicosia (AFP) Aug 18, 2022

A row has erupted in Cyprus after a community leader threatened to dig up the nests of protected turtles because his village is missing out on land development compensation.

On Thursday the authorities said his “inexcusable” threat would undo decades of conservation efforts if it went ahead.
