The Forestry Department has released 18 mouflons into the wild in the Troodos Mountains, which until now lived in the Stavros tis Psokas nature reserve. 10 rams were equipped with satellite sensors. Where were the 10 largest wild animals of the island released into the wild after 24 hours?
“The use of transmitters will allow us to obtain valuable scientific data on the movements and behavior of animals after release,” explained the press service of the Forestry Department.
The forest department's program will help preserve the wild sheep population and identify their favorite feeding and resting places. The mouflons of Cyprus are under state protection. Hunting them is prohibited. There are heavy fines for poachers.
