Ponds
and Streams of Lesvos
Lesvos is
blessed with more water then most of the
other Aegean islands and therefore is rich
in agriculture as well as wetlands. These
are photos of some of the ponds, rivers
and tidalpools. Many of these will dry up
by the end of the summer when rain is
scarce but in late spring and early summer
they are full of water and wildlife,
including turtles, frogs, snakes, birds
and whatever other animals come by for a
drink. We allways save our extra bread to
feed the turtles when we come upon one of
these pools.

Friends of a

Lesbos is the

We will campaign for policies and
actions to defend, protect and
enhance the environment of the
island of Lesbos for the benefit
of all those who live and work on
the island, for those who visit it
and for future generations.
Membership is free and open to all
who subscribe to these aims. The
issues and policies on which we
