Nikolas Fournarakis is the CEO of the company 'Ethnikos Kipos Metrpolitiko Prasino A.E.', which is responsible for managing the hills surrounding the Acropolis in Athens. He has been vocal about the ongoing environmental challenges the area faces, particularly concerning the presence of dead trees that pose a fire risk due to climate change and drought. Fournarakis has emphasized the need for proper planning in reforestation efforts, noting that many trees were planted without adequate consideration for the local climate.
