Exinity and Andrey & Julia Dashin’s Foundation drive reforestation efforts in Souni
Exinity employees and their families joined Andrey & Julia Dashin’s Foundation on Saturday, May 23, for a reforestation initiative in Souni, supporting the ongoing environmental recovery of areas impacted by last year’s devastating wildfires.
The initiative, organised in collaboration with ECOmbare, brought together 38 participants, including Andrey Dashin, highlighting the importance of collective environmental action and community engagement. Together, volunteers planted 70 Groasis Waterboxxes, contributing to the regeneration of the local ecosystem through an innovative and sustainable tree-planting method.
Following the destruction caused by the fires, the affected area is already showing encouraging signs of natural recovery, with new vegetation emerging, making it the ideal time to move forward with strategic tree-planting efforts to accelerate ecosystem restoration and strengthen biodiversity in the region.
The tree planting was carried out using the Groasis Waterboxx technology, an innovative water-saving system known for achieving high survival rates in dry and degraded environments, helping restore the natural landscape more efficiently while significantly reducing water consumption.
As part of the initiative, ECOmbare will continue to care for the seedlings over the next 1.5 years through regular site visits, watering, maintenance, replanting where necessary, and progress updates to ensure the long-term success of the project.
The event also builds on the success of a previous planting initiative carried out by the Exinity executive team and volunteers in November 2025. Recent inspections confirmed a 100% survival rate of the trees planted during that activity, demonstrating both the effectiveness of the Waterboxx method and the value of sustained environmental stewardship.
Through initiatives such as this, the Andrey & Julia Dashin Foundation continues to promote sustainability, environmental awareness and active community participation, encouraging businesses and individuals alike to contribute meaningfully to the preservation of Cyprus’s natural environment.
Commenting on the initiative, Andrey Dashin, said: “We are very pleased to support this action and to see our Exinity employees and their families actively participating in an effort that contributes directly to the restoration of Cyprus’s natural environment. Environmental responsibility is a shared commitment, and initiatives like this demonstrate the positive impact that can be achieved when communities and organisations come together around a common purpose. We hope these actions continue to inspire greater awareness and long-term care for the environment among future generations.”
