Pollinators species such as Lepidoptera are threatened by land-use change, invasive non-native species and climate change. The proposed fellowship will enhance the knowledge of pollinators in the Sovereign Base Area of Akrotiri (on Cyprus) and will provide support for the implementation of citizen science schemes and the conservation of pollinators.
Biodiversity monitoring efforts aimed at identifying the migration patterns of Endangered sea turtles highlight the urgent need for global conservation.
