Aware of the dangers the fossils, discovered in the region of Ammoutses in Friligianika, are exposed to, the Association is in the process of securing the necessary land in the area in order to safeguard the fossil remains of a cetacean, with the ultimate aim to build a Museum of Natural History which will house and protect, retrieved or yet to be discovered, fossils.
The Association is aiding the V. Haros Foundation - in the process of being established - to set up and operate the Engraving Museum which will house works by the great Kytherian engraver, that were donated to the Foundation, as well as works by other engravers, in the building of the old Elementary School of Milopotamos.
