DEGRADED CAVES IN GREECE

DEGRADED CAVES IN GREECE

Assessing the degraded caves in Grecce

A multitude of caves in Greece are subjected to substantial anthropogenic pressures, including pollution, vandalism, unregulated access, and the degradation of habitats for endemic and protected cave creatures. Preserving and safeguarding these caves pose a formidable task, as the magnitude of the issues they face and the level of stress they endure remain uncertain.

The Institute of Speleological Research of Greece urges all speleologists to contribute to documenting the stresses placed on the deteriorating caves of Greece.

This record will serve as a primary resource for evaluating the situation and developing standards that will support the endeavours of the speleological community and other stakeholders in rescuing and conserving our subterranean natural heritage.
