Dead sea turtle captured and reviewed 11.01.2023
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]At 11th of January on one of the beaches of Lithakia village the carcass of a sea turtle was found. As the area was unapproachable by car, we took the turtle on ANTA house and called the National Marine Park of Zakynthos and the port police to register the death and take care of the carcass. Two biologists specialised on sea turtles and the state vet responsible of Zakynthos island examined the turtle and verified that it was most properly killed by a struck on the forehead.

Saving Turtles from Cats
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] ANTAconcept has been hosting summer seminars and volunteering in Zakynthos off and on since the late 1980s. In 2016 we started a new project to tackle a major problem left unaddressed by local authorities responsible for nature protection: the growing amount of stray or unattended dogs that harm turtles and their nests, destroying dozens of precious eggs and hatchlings. From 2016 till now, we have succeeded in reducing the problem significantly, resulting in the total success in 2021 were we had no damage at all. However, we need to continue every year with these activities in order to ensure no sea turtle nests are damaged...
Cats
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Κατοικίδια εναντίον άγριας φύσης. Όλοι γνωρίζουμε ότι στη Ζάκυνθο τα κατοικίδια ζώα έχουν πρόβλημα. Οι συνθήκες διαβιώσης τους στη μεγάλη πλειοψηφία δεν είναι αυτές που ορίζει ο νόμος και δεν αρμόζουν στις ανάγκες τους. Αδέσποτα υπάρχουν παντού και δεν περιορίζονται μόνο στις κατοικήσιμες περιοχές. Αδέσποτες γάτες και σκυλιά βλέπουμε να ζουν άγρια μέσα στα δάση μας, στις καλλιεργημένες περιοχές , μέσα στους προστατευόμενους οικότοπους του Εθνικού θαλάσσιου Πάρκου Ζακύνθου (Ε.Θ.Π.Ζ) και στις προστατευόμενες περιοχές Natura 2000. Οι γάτες και τα σκυλιά είναι σαρκοφάγα ζώα τα οποία κυνηγούν και πιάνουν τη λεία τους. Όταν ζουν μέσα στην άγρια φύση και στις αγροτικές περιοχές συμβάλλουν στην μείωση μέχρι...

Farmer Portrait: Kostantis Mouzakis
This series is dedicated to the small organic farmers which bring you ANTA Bio Olive oil from the island of Zakynthos. Our first portrait is of Kostantis Mouzakis who suggested we divide the series into seasons since the activities and philosophy of olive farming changes with them. Winter, like every season has different processes and jobs for farmers. When asked: "Why do you chose to be an organic farmer?" Kostantis answered simply: "Because there is no real difference between organic farming and traditional." In fact, the same people who tried to force pesticides on us decades ago, are the ones coming around trying to replace these chemicals or enforce limits...
