It is the national partner of BirdLife International, a global partnership of nature conservation organisations working in more than one hundred countries worldwide.
These SPAs should be managed to ensure proper conservation of the bird species they support and sustainable development of local communities.
Birds trapped on limesticks and in nets die a horrible death and are then sold to be eaten as ambelopoulia, a supposed delicacy.

Projects: The organisation also implements, or takes part in other programmes, such as the Life Oroklini Project for the restoration and management of the Oroklini Lake, the Gypas Project for the recovery of the extremely reduced Cypriot population of griffon vultures, carried out under the Cross-border Cooperation Programme Greece-Cyprus (2007–2013) and the Darwin Plus project Akrotiri Marsh Restoration: a flagship wetland in the Cyprus SBAs for the restoration of Akrotiri Marsh to a mosaic of habitats, similar to the state it was in some decades ago [4][5][6]
