Dasos Lemesou

Dasos Lemesou is a substantial protected natural area in the southern part of Cyprus, classified both as a Site of Community Importance (SCI) and a Special Protection Area (SPA) under the European Natura 2000 network. Covering more than 4,800 hectares of land, it lies within the broader rural and forested landscape west of Limassol, where Mediterranean climate, rocky terrain, and forest cover combine to create a distinctive habitat mosaic. The site's protected status reflects its exceptional biodiversity value. It shelters twelve natural habitat types recognised under the EU Habitats Directive, ranging from thermomediterranean scrub and phrygana communities to serpentine grasslands, Mediterranean pine forests, and rare riparian galleries. These habitats support a dense and varied fauna, with over 113 protected bird species recorded, alongside mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and plants of conservation concern. Dasos Lemesou stands out as one of Cyprus's most important forest-based Natura 2000 sites, bridging the ecological and cultural identity of the island's southern interior. It plays a key role in preserving the Mediterranean forest character of the region and contributes to the broader European network of protected landscapes that safeguard the continent's most threatened habitats.
