This is not the official 5BFF website however i felt like i should write some things regarding the Flora and Fauna of Cyprus and also the wwff activity in Cyprus

Cyprus is an island in the mediteranian. It was created by the colision of two tektonic plates which led a part of the sea crest to arrise from the sea (like legend has it Aphrodite arose from the sea) 

This fact makes the central mountain of Cyprus, Troodos very unique because of the rocks . many geologists prefer to study the rocks of the sea floor on the mountain instead of having to scuba-dive to get some samples.
