The United Nations peacekeeping mission in Cyprus is collaborating with local authorities to promote Conservation efforts in the buffer zone between the north and south of the island. Recycled ammunition boxes have been repurposed as nests for barn owls, which help control rodents. The mission also focuses on reducing illegal waste dumping and bird poaching, installing solar panels, and engaging in beach and buffer zone clean-ups. The UN's environmental work aims to bring communities together and raise awareness of the importance of conservation efforts in the face of climate change and habitat fragmentation.
