Our new documentary "Aspettando la Neve" (Waiting for the Snow) is currently in it's Festival Run, shedding light on a pressing issue in the Central Apennines. The film explores the environmental and economic devastation caused by abandoned ski resorts in this once-thriving winter sports destination. As these resorts fall into disrepair, they disrupt natural habitats, contribute to soil erosion, and undermine the local ecosystem. Economically, the decline of these resorts has led to a downturn in property values, a decrease in tourism, and a loss of jobs, leaving local communities struggling. Aspettando la Neve tells the story of a region grappling with the consequences of neglect and the urgent need for sustainable management.

We would like to thank the team behind the documentary for their support and their work.

🇨🇾
Εν να εθέλαμεν να ευχαριστήσουμεν ούλλους όσους εσυνέβαλαν στην πραγματοποίηση τούτου του ντοκιμαντέρ τζιαι το φεστιβάλ Cinema e Ambiente Avezzano που το εμοιράστηκεν με το κοινό του. Κατά τη γνώμη μας, τούτον το βραβείον εν το πιο σημαντικό σε ένα κινηματογραφικό φεστιβάλ, επειδή αφορά την ταινία που έτζισεν τες καρκιές των παραπάνω αθρώπων. Κάμνουμεν ντοκιμαντέρ για τη φύση για να προωθήσουμεν την αλλαγή, να ευαισθητοποιήσουμεν τζιαι να δείξουμεν την ομορφκιά του φυσικού μας κόσμου. Τούτου λεχθέντος, εννά εθέλαμεν να αφιερώσουμεν τούτο το βραβείο σε έναν αγαπημένο φίλο που εν 'ναιν μαζί μας πκιόν, έχοντας τόσα πολλά παραπάνω να δώκει. Το όνομα του, Martin Abbas Hellicar, ο διευθυντής του BirdLife Cyprus, ένας άθρωπος που αγωνίστηκεν τόσο σκληρά για τη διατήρησην της φύσης στην Κύπρο, ένας άθρωπος που ήταν αστείος, χαρισματικός τζαι το κυριόττερον καλός φίλος, τζιαι που είχαμεν την τιμή να τον έχουμε ως αφηγητή του ντοκιμαντέρ μας.

Στο καλό Μάρτιν, τούτον το βραβείο εν για λλόου σου! 🌲🐻🪶

O Martin Abbas Hellicar ήταν ένας φάρος προστασίας τζιαι ένας πραγματικός φύλακας της φυσικής κληρονομιάς της Κύπρου. Η βαθκιά του αγάπη για τη γη, τα ζώα, τα πουλιά, τα δάση τζιαι τες θάλασσες της, εσυνδυάζετουν μόνον με την ακλόνητη αφοσίωση του στην προστασία τους. Ως διευθυντής του BirdLife Cyprus, ο Μάρτιν ενέπνευσεν αμέτρητα άτομα με το πάθος, τες γνώσεις, το χιούμορ τζιαι το ευγενικό του πνεύμα. Ηγήθηκε με δύναμη τζιαι ιδεαλιστικό όραμα, εδιαμόρφοσεν το περιβαλλοντικό κίνημα στην Κύπρο τζιαι άφησεν ανεξίτηλο το στίγμα του στες προσπάθειες διατήρησης της. Η κληρονομιά του Μάρτιν έννεν μόνο στα έργα που υπερασπίστηκεν ή στα είδη που εβοήθησεν να διατηρηθούν, αλλά στη βαθκιά επίδραση που είσιεν σε ούλλους όσους είχαν το προνόμιο να τον ηγνωρίσουσιν ή να δουλέψουσιν μαζίν του. Η απώλεια του αφήνει ένα κενόν που έγινεν ήδη αισθητό σε ούλλην την κοινότητα της προστασίας της φύσης, αλλά η μνήμη του εν να συνεχίσει να μας καθοδηγά τζιαι να μας εμπνέει ούλλους να αγαπούμεν τζιαι να διαφυλάσσουμεν τον φυσικό κόσμο που τόσο βαθκιά αγαπούσεν.

Τα ειλικρινή συλληπητήρια στην οικογένεια του τζιαι στην οικογένεια του BirdLife Cyprus. 🦅🌱

🇬🇧
We would like to thank everyone who contributed to make this documentary possible and the festival Cinema e Ambiente Avezzano for sharing it with the audience. In our opinion, this award is the most important one in a film festival because it's about the film that touched the hearts of the most people. We make nature documentaries to promote change, raise awareness and to show the beauty of our natural world. That being said we would like to dedicate this award to a dear friend who’s no longer with us, having so much more to give. His name is Martin Abbas Hellicar, the director of Birdlife Cyprus, a person who fought so hard for the preservation of nature in Cyprus, a person that was funny, charming and most importantly a good friend. And fortunately he happened to be the narrator of our documentary.

Rest in peace Martin, this award is for you! 🌲🐻🪶

Martin Abbas Hellicar was a beacon of conservation and a true guardian of Cyprus's natural heritage. His deep love for the land, its animals, birds, forests, and seas was matched only by his unwavering dedication to their protection. As the director of BirdLife Cyprus, Martin inspired countless individuals with his passion, knowledge, humour and gentle spirit. He led with calm strength and an idealistic vision, shaping the environmental movement in Cyprus and leaving an indelible mark on its conservation efforts. Martin's legacy is not just in the projects he championed or the species he helped preserve, but in the profound impact he had on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him or working alongside him. His loss leaves a void that will be felt across the conservation community, but his memory will continue to guide and inspire us all to cherish and safeguard the natural world he cherished so deeply.

Our deepest condolences to his family and the family of BirdLife Cyprus. 🦅🌱

A video produced for BirdLife Cyprus, Terra Cypria, SBA Akrotiri Environment Department and RSPB through the Darwin+ programme. 🪻🌊

Akrotiri Peninsula, in Limassol District, is the southernmost tip of Cyprus, but also the southernmost part of Europe, and it is an area full of unique surprises and hidden gems! A single visit to Akrotiri Peninsula is not enough to explore all its natural and cultural wealth. Every season offers something unique and different. In spring, orchids and breeding birds add colours and life to the landscape. In summer, sea turtles lay their eggs on the beach. In autumn, the sky is filled with hundreds of migratory birds, while in winter, the Salt Lake is taking colour from the flamingos. 🦜

We would like to thank everyone who made this video possible!
