The Island of Missing Trees(100)

Thank you to Richard Mabey for your love of nature, Robert Macfarlane for your love of earth, Jonathan Drori for your love of trees, and James Ker-Lindsay for your love of an island close to our hearts.

As ever, to my family, whose love and support inspire me and who never fail to correct my many mispronunciations, tesekkür ediyorum yürekten.

Above all, I want to thank the islanders who patiently answered my questions and shared their experiences and feelings with me, especially young Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots whose courage, vision and wisdom will hopefully build a better world than the one we have given them.
