Image Caption: Malta’s fragile ecosystems under threat by modern progress Summary of the description being used for the image: This image highlights the environmental crisis in Malta, where rapid, unsustainable development is threatening fragile ecosystems, farmland, and vital green spaces. Across The Maltese Islands, urban sprawl is expanding too quickly for nature to recover, raising concerns about food security and biodiversity loss. Indigenous species face increasing risk of extinction, while the loss of the islands’ “green lung” reduces natural protection against climate change. As green areas disappear, air quality declines and temperatures rise, leaving Malta more vulnerable and questioning how long its environment can withstand such pressure.

The podcast is about Water Scarcity and Food Security. Eko skola committee researched the topic and a member from the Manikata Agricultural Cooperative was invited to give a talk to the committee about the topic. The students asked questions during the talk on the research that was previously done. This was followed by a podcast recorded in a studio where two members of the Eko skola committee discussed the topic with Dr. Mario Cardona. It was a good experience for these two Year 6 students to do a recording of Podcast at a studio. https://ln5.sync.com/dl/290eb9210#j8nxedgq-u8ytbtnf-pi6m5633-yxr45bw8

Latex balloons are often mistaken for food (like jellyfish) by sea turtles, causing intestinal blockages, while ribbons and strings cause entanglement. Less sea turtles = more jellyfish.

This photo shows cut logs with holes made by insects, showing the different layers of the tree. It shows how dead wood can still be home to insects and animals. If we cut down many trees, many animals will lose their home. We can help by taking care of trees, do not waste things like paper and plant new trees.

This photo shows a plant growing in an aqua ponics system. It shows a way of growing food using recycled water and natural nutrients. Sometimes to grow crops lots of water is wasted or used. Using systems like this helps to use less water because it is sustainable.
