In the no man s land of Cyprus, owls to the rescue of farmers

A pilot project of a decade-long initiative by the NGO BirdLife Cyprus and the Greek Cypriot government, Déneia is now home to between 20 and 50 barn owls and their chicks. The aim is to encourage farmers to abandon rat poison while reviving the barn owl population in Cyprus, which is declining across Europe. "Owls are a miracle!" exclaims Mr. Christodoulou, who used to water his fields with powerful rat poison, like the other farmers.
