The content revolves around nature conservation and eco-tourism type works undertaken by our partners, Hylates Limited. The emphasis of the placement is on sustainable and local solutions to maintaining and improving biodiversity. Cyprus has a very fragile natural environment, which is under pressure for development purposes. Hylates Ltd deals with local authorities and individuals, for the development of environmentally friendly facilities to attract visitors, such trails, picnic sites, visitor centres etc. Participants will have the opportunity to be involved in the design, construction and operation of such facilities.
The Leonardo da Vinci funding available for these placements will cover travel (return travel from main UK airport), insurance, subsistence allowance (equal to three meals a day) and accommodation.
