EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the progress of the implementation of he Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in Greece, during the period 1993 - 1997. Being the First National Report, it was felt that it should also present the most up-to-date information regarding the status of biodiversity in Greece, as well as the current actions for its conservation and sustainable use. From the outset it should be stressed that Greece is at the point of drafting the National Biodiversity Strategy (NBS), and because of this, specific action programmes resulting from this Convention, have not yet been realised, since they will be determined by the National Action Plans conducted according to the NBS. Nevertheless, Greece has been active in biodiversity related subjects for several years, especially as a result of its membership of the European Union, the OECD and the Council of Europe and due to the ratification of relevant International Conventions including those of Ramsar, CITES, Barcelona, Bern. Therefore, for Greece the CBD is considered as the logical framework for all the current initiatives,which have been integrated in Greek environmental policy. This framework serves as a check list of achievements and a means for identifying policy gaps and neccessary broadening of objectives in order to meet the challenges of the CBD. The principal steps taken towards the implementation of the CBD, by the National Focal Point (Ministry of Environment, Physical Planning and Public Works, Environmental Planning Division, Natural Environment Management Section) include : 1. Initiation of the “Biodiversity Convention Co-ordinating Project”, which aims to support the NFP in the first stages of implementation, which has been assigned to the Zoological Museum of the University of Athens (person in charge: Asst. Prof. A. Legakis). 2. Organisation of working methods and time schedules: formation of an Experts' Committee and a Supervising Committee for the better functioning of the Project 3. Evaluation of the present situation (collection of data on the status of Greek biodiversity, legislative and institutional background, and related activities) 4. Identification of the bodies involved and consequent dissemination of information, ( State administration, NGOs, research institutions etc.) 5. Detection of gaps in knowledge and problems in running activities, and in policy implementation (co-operation with administrative bodies) 6. Evaluation of priorities - definition of targets for the elaboration of the National Biodiversity Strategy (by the end of 1998) 7. Specification of the NBS in particular actions per sector (collaboration with administration and other bodies) - Elaboration of National Action Plans (by the end of 1999) In spite of the fact that the largest part of the biodiversity of Greece at the species and genetic levels remains unidentified, existing data show clearly that it is especially high with regard to the wild fauna and flora and the genetic resources related to agriculture and food products. It is estimated that there are approximately 50,000 animal species, while 15,000 are already known of which up to 25% are endemic. Similarly, there are over 5,500 species of plants of which over 1,000 are endemic. Species protected by law are comparatively few (appr. 700 animal species and 900 plant species) and specific management measures have actually been taken for only a part of them. For many organisms such as micro-organisms, fungi etc., there are no reliable collective data, although all the indications suggest that they present great diversity. It should also be stressed that, because of its high level of endemism and because it 1 comprises one of the last refuges of many threatened, endangered and rare species on a European scale, Greece is an important area for the European and the Mediterranean fauna and flora. Genetic resources are currently being recorded with regard to biotechnology applications and several endemic plant varieties, as well as many aromatic and medicinal plants are known. In addition, a important number of farm and domestic animal races and varieties is known. At the level of ecosystems Greece also possesses a great diversity, as a result of the complex relief and the relatively mild, until recently, human activities. Twenty-five groups of habitat types (according to the CORINE classification and Directive 92/43/of the European Union) are represented in Greece, the most important of which are maquis, phrygana, wetlands , marine and coastal, but also, for European standards, the forests. Marine/ coastal habitats and islands comprise a priority for Greece, since the country has the longest coastline in the Mediterranean (about 15,000 km) and the coastal sites hold important economic, cultural and biodiversity interests. Work on the sustainable use policies for the coasts has been undertaken during the last 5 years and a reform of policies is underway. Nine Specially Protected Areas have been enlisted under the relevant Protocol of the Barcelona Convention. Forests in Greece, as in the rest of the Mediterranean regions have been exposed to human activities. As ar result, coastal and lowland forests especially have been degraded to a significant extent due to urbanisation and conversion to agricultural land. Sustainable managmenet practices have been introduced gradually since 1920, especially with regard to felling and grazing and there is strong legal protection. Today, Greek forests of the Central European and Mediterranena types as well as the natural vegetation of the maquis and phrygana comprise important biodiversity components and efforts have been undertaken for the identification and conservation of their biodiversity values. Agricultural habitats have been exposed to either intensification of production in the lowlands or relative abandonment in the mountainous areas. Since they possess a relatively rich biodiversity wealth, but also hold important interest for economic activities, they are subject to special policies. Considerable progress has been made in recent years towards recording biodiversity in agricultural ecosystems and taking measures to protect it. The wetlands of Greece, although comparatively covering a small surface and despite the fact that their number has been considerably reduced over the last century mainly due to drainage, are of many types and are particularly rich as far as biodiversity is concerned. Eleven important wetlands have been included in the List of Wetlands of International importance (Ramsar Convention) and conservation measures are being implemented. Despite some persisting threats, over the

Generally, in this group, the upper jaw consists of the premaxilla, maxilla, and supramaxilla. The lower jaw consists of the dentary, anguloarticular, retroarticular, and sesamoid articular. In higher taxa, the premaxilla bears ascending, articular, and postmaxillary processes. The maxilla usually bears a ventral and a dorsal articular process. The supramaxilla is present only in some taxa. The dentary is usually toothed and bears coronoid and posteroventral processes. The retroarticular is small and located at the posteroventral corner of the anguloarticular.

  • Demetrius Poliorcetes and the Hellenic League
    DEMETRIUSPOLIORCETES AND THE HELLENIC LEAGUE (PLATE 33) 1. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND D JURING the six years, 307/6-302/1 B.C., issues were raised and settled which shaped the course of western history for a long time to come. The epoch was alike critical for Athens, Hellas, and the Macedonians. The Macedonians faced squarely during this period the decision whether their world was to be one world or an aggregate of separate kingdoms with conflicting interests, and ill-defined boundaries, preserved by a precarious balance of power and incapable of common action against uprisings of Greek and oriental subjects and the plundering appetites of surrounding barbarians. The champion of unity was King Antigonus the One- Eyed, and his chief lieutenant his brilliant but unstatesmanlike son, King Demetrius the Taker of Cities, a master of siege operations and of naval construction and tactics, more skilled in organizing the land-instruments of warfare than in using them on the battle field. The final campaign between the champions of Macedonian unity and disunity opened in 307 with the liberation of Athens by Demetrius and ended in 301 B.C. with the Battle of the Kings, when Antigonus died in a hail of javelins and Demetrius' cavalry failed to penetrate a corps of 500 Indian elephants in a vain effort to rescue hinm. Of his four adversaries King Lysimachus and King Kassander left no successors; the other two, Kings Ptolemy of Egypt and Seleucus of Syria, were more fortunate, and they and Demetrius' able son, Antigonus Gonatas, planted the three dynasties with whom the Romans dealt and whom they successively destroyed in wars spread over 44 years.

  • The Emigration of Muslims from the Greek State in the 19Th Century
    BALCANICA POSNANIENSIA XXVII Poznań 2020 THE EMIGRATION OF MUSLIMS FROM THE GREEK STATE 1 IN THE 19TH CENTURy. AN OUTLINE kr z y s z t o f Po P e k Abstract. Modern Greek statehood began to take shape with the War of Independence that broke out in 1821 and continued with varying intensity for the next years. As a result of these events, the Greeks cast of the foreign rule, which for many not only meant separation from the Ottoman Empire, but also the expulsion of Muslims living in these lands. During the uprising, about 25 000 Muslims lost their lives, and a similar number emigrated from the territory of the future Greek state. The next great exodus of Muslims from Greek lands was related to the an- nexation of Thessaly by the Hellenic Kingdom, which was to a larger extent spread over time. Since the region was incorporated into Greece until the beginning of the 20th century, the 40 000-strong Islamic community had virtually disappeared.

  • Archaic Eretria
    ARCHAIC ERETRIA This book presents for the first time a history of Eretria during the Archaic Era, the city’s most notable period of political importance. Keith Walker examines all the major elements of the city’s success. One of the key factors explored is Eretria’s role as a pioneer coloniser in both the Levant and the West— its early Aegean ‘island empire’ anticipates that of Athens by more than a century, and Eretrian shipping and trade was similarly widespread. We are shown how the strength of the navy conferred thalassocratic status on the city between 506 and 490 BC, and that the importance of its rowers (Eretria means ‘the rowing city’) probably explains the appearance of its democratic constitution. Walker dates this to the last decade of the sixth century; given the presence of Athenian political exiles there, this may well have provided a model for the later reforms of Kleisthenes in Athens. Eretria’s major, indeed dominant, role in the events of central Greece in the last half of the sixth century, and in the events of the Ionian Revolt to 490, is clearly demonstrated, and the tyranny of Diagoras (c. 538–509), perhaps the golden age of the city, is fully examined. Full documentation of literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources (most of which have previously been inaccessible to an English-speaking audience) is provided, creating a fascinating history and a valuable resource for the Greek historian. Keith Walker is a Research Associate in the Department of Classics, History and Religion at the University of New England, Armidale, Australia.

Under average meteorological conditions, the island is water-sufficient (969 mm precipitation; theoretical water potential 3284 hm3; and total water use 610 hm3). Agriculture is by far the greatest user of water (78% of total water use), followed by domestic use (21%). Despite the high average water availability, water scarcity events commonly occur, particularly in the eastern-south part of the island, driven by local climatic conditions and seasonal or geographical mismatches between water availability and demand.

Arrive at the Corinth Canal for a brief stop and then continue on to the Acropolis of Corinth. Acro-corinth is the citadel of Corinth. It is situated to the southwest of the ancient city and rises to an elevation of 1883 ft. [574 m.]. Today it is surrounded by walls that are about 1.85 mi. [3 km.] long. The foundations of the fortifications are ancient—going back to the Hellenistic Period. The current walls were built and rebuilt by the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottoman Turks. Climb up and visit the fortress. Then proceed to the Ancient city of Corinth. It was to this megalopolis where the apostle Paul came and worked, established a thriving church, subsequently sending two of his epistles now part of the New Testament. Here, we see all of the sites associated with his ministry: the Agora, the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Odeon, the Bema and Gallio’s Seat. The small local archaeological museum here is an absolute must! In Romans 16:23 Paul mentions his friend Erastus and • • we will see an inscription to him at the site.

  • National Inventory of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Greece
    NATIONAL INVENTORY OF THE INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF GREECE Transhumant Livestock Farming 1. Brief Presentation of the Element of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) a. Under what name is the element identified by its bearers : Transhumant Livestock Farming b. Other name(s): Migrating animal husbandry, nomadic livestock breeding. In the past, terms such as “tent dwellers” (“skinites” in Greek) and “house-bearing Vlach shepherds” (“fereoikoi vlachopoimenes”) were used to denote migrating livestock farmers. Though widely used, the terms “nomadism” and “nomadic animal husbandry” do not correspond to the pattern of livestock movements now observed in Greek areas, since such movements occur between specific locations, in summer and in winter. Besides, nomads did not roam but chose the winter and summer settlements taking a number of complex factors under consideration. The term “transitional animal husbandry” is more precise, as it corresponds to the international term of transhumance, which indicates the seasonal movement of flocks and shepherd(s) from the mountain to the plain and vice versa. Unlike what takes place in Greece, where in their majority livestock-farming families continue to move along with the flocks, in many areas of Europe the entire family does not follow the movement of flocks, but permanently remains in a village, whether montane or lowland. Direct transhumance is defined as transitional animal husbandry, when the plain is the place of residence of the family, whereas in the opposite case, namely when the permanent place of residence of the family is on the mountain, it is called inverse transhumance. It is worth noting that transhumant livestock farmers of Greek areas regard as their home the mountains and not the plains where they winter (Psihoyos – Papapetrou 1983, 1 28, Salzman [a] 2010, Salzman [b] 2010).
