Résumé :	One of the most important sites for birds in Cyprus is the Akrotiri Peninsula-Episkopi Cliffs IBA, at the southern tip of the island and within the UK Overseas Territory. The diversity and extent of the wetland habitats support great congregations of waterbirds in winter and spring, the site is a bottleneck for migrating raptors in autumn and it supports important populations of many of the island's key breeding species. The site is under significant threat from habitat loss or degradation, chiefly as a result of development pressures - both military and civilian - while the need of a water-management strategy is also critical.
