Cyprus Federation for Hunting

Cyprus Federation for Hunting The Cyprus Hunting & Wildlife Conservation Federation was established in 1952 by the then hunting associations of Nicosia, Limassol and the hunting clubs of Famagusta, Larnaca and Paphos. The objectives of the Federation were defined in its statutes and include, among others, the protection, development and enrichment of the Cypriot fauna, the preservation and development of hunting resources in the country within the framework of sustainable management, the promotion of the sport of hunting, the organization of hunters in hunting clubs, the coordination of their actions to improve the conditions for conducting hunting, the development of hunting education and knowledge about the environment as well as the care of hunting dogs. In the context of promoting the above objectives, the Federation also collaborates with other international organizations both in Europe and worldwide, such as FACE (European Federation for Hunting and Conservation) which consists of organizations from 37 countries and represents 9,000,000 hunter members in Europe and wider Europe and the CIC (International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation). KOK & DAZ is undoubtedly the largest active environmental organization in our country and the only legally recognized representative of Cypriot hunters. Every active Hunting Association throughout the Pancyprian Islands is a member of the Federation, whose representatives and agents promote its objectives practically but where necessary, also by promoting legislation through parliamentary parties. Structurally, the Federation consists of its clubs throughout Cyprus, integrated into it through its provincial departments. P.O.
