We are all ever so pleased to know that Malta will get a marine protected area in July this year. To get a protected area, where the biological diversity and the natural resources will be protected, restored and maintained at conservation status is great!
Biological diversity is extremely important, in fact it is the variety of life on Earth. Biodiversity is essential to our lives in all sorts of ways, providing economic, social and environmental benefits. Biodiversity also enriches our lives-it makes the world a better place to live in.
We are thousands up here in Scandinavia, who will celebrate this, at the same time as Malta is now entering the European Union. Maybe at last, we will find eco-tourism flourish in Malta and the barbaric old times with hunting and trapping will finally be over.
Here in Scandinavia, we are working all through our long winter, helping the precious birds to survive and awaiting the migrating birds that have eventually survived passing Malta on their way back to us.
Hopefully the new era will reach Malta soon; preserving and protecting nature.
