The Cyprian Grey Bush-Cricket (Platycleis kibris) is an insect species found only in Cyprus. It is considered critically endangered due to habitat loss caused by urban development, agricultural activities, and wildfires. The estimated remaining population of this bush-cricket is uncertain, but it is believed to be extremely low. Conservation efforts involve habitat restoration, protected area designation, and raising awareness among local communities.
