Objective Action

TITAN and the Pavlos and Alexandra Kanellopoulos Foundation have been jointly implementing a series of actions and initiatives in recent years, aiming to support the national effort to restore fire-affected areas and prevent wildfires. Following the 2023 wildfires, we undertook responsibility, as Restoration Sponsors in Western Mount Parnitha, for implementing measures to protect and rehabilitate the affected areas.

 

Target Audience

This initiative is aimed at the local community, particularly residents of the affected area, as well as the wider public, which benefits from the environmental restoration of the burned area.

 

Duration

In November 2025, TITAN was appointed as a Restoration Sponsor for Western Mount Parnitha. The works commenced in early 2026 and were completed and handed over in April 2026.


Description

In April 2026, we were pleased to hand over the completed anti-erosion and flood protection works, which we implemented to restore the natural environment of a burned area of approximately 1,000 hectares in Kryoneri, at the Drosopigi location on Mount Parnitha. Thanks to these interventions and with nature taking its course, we believe that the landscape will soon regenerate and turn green again.

The project was carried out by TITAN and the Pavlos and Alexandra Kanellopoulos Foundation, within the framework of the “Restoration Sponsor” scheme, under the coordination and supervision of the Forest Services of the General Secretariat of Forests of the Ministry of Environment and Energy.

The site visit marking the handover of the project was attended by the Minister of Environment and Energy, Mr. Stavros Papastavrou, along with representatives of the political leadership and local government, the Forest Service, TITAN, and the Pavlos and Alexandra Kanellopoulos Foundation.
