CONSERVATION SPECIFICATIONS Pinelopi Delipetrou Long term monitoring of the population is needed for an accurate assessment of the conservation status of the population size of the species and for understanding the causes of fluctuations. Ex situ conservation should continue with seed collections in years of large population sizes for the replenishment of the seedbank and the en- surance of available plant material for population enhancement and introduction. In situ conservation at Louka should be repeat- ed with larger numbers of seeds, probably preced- ed by Mentha pulegium thinning. Aris Vidalis Pinelopi Delipetrou 9 Mediterranean

The aim of this work is to evaluate the ecological status of Juniperus foetidissima Willd. forest stands in the protected Natura 2000 site of Mt. Oiti in Greece. The study of the ecological status is important for designing and implementing active management and conservation actions for the species’ protection. Tree size characteristics (height, breast height diameter), age, reproductive dynamics, seed production and viability, tree density, sex, and habitat expansion were examined. The data analysis revealed a generally good ecological status of the habitat with high plant diversity. However, at the different juniper stands, subpopulations present high variability and face different problems, such as poor tree density, reduced numbers of juvenile trees or poor seed production, inadequate male:female ratios, a small number of female trees, reduced numbers of seeds with viable embryos, competition with other woody species, grazing, and Citation: Proutsos, N.; Solomou, A.; illegal logging. From the results, the need for site-specific active management and interventions is Karetsos, G.; Tsagari, K.; Mantakas, demonstrated in order to preserve or achieve the good status of the habitat at all stands in the region.

It was discovered in fluvio­ lacustrine sediments in the area of the village of Reghinio in Lokris, Central Greece. The fossil mammal remains comprise a partially preserved large cervid skull, as well as elephant tusk parts, which are referred to Eucladoceros sp. and Mammuthus cf. meridionalis respectively. Based on the material available to date, the locality can be dated to the late Pliocene - early Pleistocene.

  • Greek Tourism Posters “A Journey in Time Through Art”
    Greek Tourism Posters “A journey in Time through Art” An exhibition of G.N.T.O. presented by the Embassy of Greece in Australia on the occasion of the visit of H.E. the Minister of Tourism Mrs. Olga Kefalogianni Catalogue Wednesday 14th of May 2014 Canberra Greece... ... "A sky exceptionally blue and clear, a sea from which one after the other rose the islands of the Archipelago. Your glance can never be lost in infinity. There is always a point where it can rest: a mountain, an island, a line, here clear-cut, there more remote, drowned out by a lambent haze. The sun rises triumphal over this magical landscape and then sets in a glory of colour and light. A sunset in the Greek Archipelago, a time when volumes are drawn one behind the other, diaphanous and crisp, is one of the rare gifts of the Gods... This is the land blessed by the Gods, where they were born at the dawn of civilization, where they still live. Luminous and dazzling, these deities of sea, sun and hills, lived on a human scale, on mythical Mount Olympus. And when the twilight hour arrived for them, they gained a second immortality through Homer's epic poetry... There are also beautiful mountains. Starting from Pindos, the spine that runs through Continental Greece, many mountain ranges branch off, shaped of rock, small fists that cover almost the entire country, until they either fall suddenly into the Aegean Sea or elsewhere roll gently into the sea tumbling down into sand dunes. The Muses lived on Mount Parnassus.
