The sites below give some information about selected aspects of forests and forestry in Cyprus. They are aimed to give a view of complexity of forest ecosystems and its managment, forest resources in Cyprus biodiversity and nature protection.
 | FOREST CHARACTERISTIC AND FOREST TYPES Cyprus has an extreme Mediterranean climate. It has a hot, long, dry summer and a variable warm winter. The mean annual temperature is 17.8° C and the relative humidity is 60 %. The mean annual rainfall is about 500 mm. |
 | TYPICAL AND EXCEPTIONAL FAUNA AND FLORA SPECIES IN FORESTS The rich natural vegetation of Cyprus is explained by its geographical position among the three continents (Europe, Asia and Africa). The study of Cyprus flora began since 1787.
|
 | FORMS OF NATURE PROTECTION SUCH AS NATIONAL PARKS AND NATURE 2000 SITES Cyprus, as the rest of the Mediterranean countries, is characterized by a large number of plant species that have a restricted distribution and a high rate of endemism. Endemics are the plants found in a country or region or place only and no where else in the world.
|
 | Private forestry is non - existent in Cyprus because the forest due to the climate has not commercial value. Thus only the State forests are properly managed. |
