Northern Cyprus

Acknowledgements

The work in Cyprus:

Many different individuals and organisations have contributed to the research and conservation effort over the years. All work has been a joint endeavour with the Society for the Protection of Turtles in Northern Cyprus and the local Department of Environmental Protection.

Although personal contributions of students participating, and small donations in the UK and in Northern Cyprus provided over half of all funds, this project would not have taken place but for the support of many organisations.

Financial Support:

In Cyprus: The British High Commission, Cyprus Turkish Airlines, and the UNHCR.

In the UK: The British Association of Tortoise Keepers, British Chelonia Group, British Ecological Society, Cross Trust, Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland, European Commission (DG 1B/A1), Gilchrist Educational Trust, Glasgow University Court, Glasgow Natural History Society (Lloyd Binns Bequest), Institute of Biology, Karen Hansen Trust, MEDASSET (UK), North of England Zoological Society, Peoples Trust for Endangered Species, Percy Sladen Memorial Trust, Royal Geographical Society, Royal Scottish Geographical Society, Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, Zebra Foundation.
