ATHENS， Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- Greece ended Friday a much-debated marathon auction for four licenses of TV broadcasting nationwide， which were tendered to business moguls and private media companies.
Among the winners who paid a total of 246 million euros (275.4 million U.S. dollars)， are two newcomers， businessmen Vangelis Marinakis and Ivan Savvidis， owner of a popular football club， as well as construction mogul Ioannis Vladimiros Kalogritsas， government spokesperson Olga Gerovassilis said.
Besides， ANT1 TV of Kyriakou Group and SKAI of Yannis Alafouzos， two of the existing private TV channels which have been operating since the 1990s with provisional licenses without paying fees， also secured licenses.
The starting price for each license valid for a decade was set at 3 million euros.
Gerovassilis hailed as a new start to clear a dysfunctional TV broadcasting landscape suffering from corruption， stressing that for the first time in three decades Greece is gaining revenues from private television channels.
However， opposition parties， representatives of the so-called old media system and other critics who questioned the legitimacy and transparency of the auction process， warned that the ""war of the television landscape"" is not over.
They accused the government of attempting to control the media by granting licenses to businessmen who have close ties with the ruling Radical Left party and ousting others.
The auction started under strict rules and security measures on Tuesday morning with the participation of eight contenders. It was supervised by a special committee composed of academics and senior state officials.
The State Council， Greece's supreme administrative court， is expected to rule on the legitimacy of the auction in the second half of September.
In Greece， TV channels which are currently on air without a license face a 90-day grace period before they go off air.
The government has said that more TV licenses will be auctioned off in the future.

NAKURU， Kenya， Oct. 16 (Xinhua) -- Emerging need to protect forests from destruction to promote sustainable environment in Kenya has pushed communities into conservation activities as they focus on long-term benefits.
Simon Sururu is the chairman of Logoman Forest Station Scouts， which constitutes of 20 young men from Ogiek community monitoring and rehabilitating 20 hectares of the Logoman Forest， a sub-station of the larger Mau Forest Complex， spanning five counties in Kenya's Rift Valley region.
"My children will suffer in the future if I don't take care of the forest，" said Sururu who lives on the fringes of Logoman forest in Nakuru county.
In the last decade， Mau Forest Complex has attracted local and international attention due to its exposure to extensive destruction from illegal harvesting of trees for firewood， charcoal and timber.
Although there have been relentless efforts from the government to save the forests， the Kenya Forest Service (KFS)， state entity responsible for protecting forests， still reports of the existing challenges of degradation.
Review of the forest laws in 2007 brought in a new aspect of community involvement in conservation activities， which created an opportunity for raising awareness on necessity of environmental conservation.
The new drive， which has given way to the establishment of the group of community volunteers in the Mau， now called for forest champions.
"I have seen rivers dry and droughts hit us so badly but I didn't know it had a connection to the forest until I received training on forest conservation，" Sururu said.
KFS， together with a community representative organization， Ogiek Peoples' Development Program， trained them four months ago on the significance of forests to mitigation of climate change and community development.
"We depend on rain to grow crops and if there is none， everybody will suffer. Trees bring rain， prevent soil erosion and keep the air clean，" Sururu said.
KFS allocated the Ogieks the section of the forest to conserve as part of the process of community participation in safeguarding the natural resource.
Ogiek is a minority community living within the Mau ecosystem， and has， for centuries， lived on forest resources， including wild berries and honey from bees reared on hives mounted on nectar producing trees.
