Generations of hunters, one village, one land.

Our history

The Liopetri Hunting Association grew out of the informal gatherings of village hunters who, for as long as anyone in Liopetri can remember, met at dawn in the coffee shops of the square before heading out to the fields of the Kokkinochoria. In 1978, a group of these men and women formalised their friendship into an association, with a simple promise: that the land which fed their families would be passed on to their children in better condition than they found it.

In the decades that followed, the association became a familiar presence in village life. Members built and maintained water troughs for wildlife during the long Cypriot summers, cooperated with the Game and Fauna Service on release programmes for the native chukar partridge, and quietly organised help for neighbours in need. When fires threatened the countryside, our members were among the first volunteers on the ground.

Today we are a registered non-profit association under the Cyprus Ministry of Interior (Reg. No. ΑΜΜΣ16), governed by an elected volunteer board and accountable to our members at an annual General Assembly. No board member receives a salary; every euro raised goes to conservation, education and community programmes.
