| Σχόλιο για τις αξίες | The Vai palm forest is of unique importance for Europe. Phoenix theophrastii is one of the only two palms native in Europe (the other is at Canarian islands and very rare) and occurs outside Crete only locally in south-western Turkey. P. theophrastii might be a relict of the Tertiary European Phoenix which has persisted in some places with a favourite climate and where human activity has been low.The palm occurs at about another ten localities in Crete but always at small populations (maybe of only few individuals); the Vai forest is by far the largest palm grove in Crete and possibly in Europe.OTHER IMPORTANT SPECIES WITH MOTIVATION DRana ridibunda is protected by the Bern Convention (1992) and included in Annex V of the Directive 92/43/EEC. Chamaeleo chamaeleon is protected by the Bern Convention (1992) and by the Greek Law (Presidential Decree 67/81) and included in the National Red Data Book (rare) and also in Annex V of the Directive 92/43/EEC. Coluber gemonensis is protected by the Bern Convention (1992) and by the Greek Law. This is an important site for species associated with coastal cliffs and scrub and passage migrants. Species of concern include Falco naumanni, Falco eleonorae and Larus audouinii. |

| Τρωτότητα | The palm forest has suffered some destruction in the beach area, but the trees growing higher up are growing vigorously. The possible dangers are:1) The problem that could arise by over-irrigation of the nearby cultivations. The level of the water horizon is important for the development of the trees and should be neither too high nor too low.2) Planting of Phoenix dactilifera as an ornamental plant at nearby localities should be banned, since palms hybridize easily.Other threats include illegal hunting, housing and touristic developments and agricultural intensification. |
