Lack of awareness towards the environment is leading to the destruction of local biodiversity and beauty at the enchanting spot at the limits of Kercem known as the fresh water pond of San Raflu. Alien species are invading the area. This spot is supposed to be a haven for ducks, frogs, fish and turtles but also to locals and visitors alike. Irresponsible persons are turning this oasis into a dumping site both litter wise and by dumping unwanted unusual pets. Litter and alien species of both flora and fauna are changing the site over.

I have always loved to visit a green area where the air was pure. Lately I went for a walk and the sight of all this litter automatically caught my attention. Why is litter thrown in green areas or even on the streets when litter bins are found at every corner of every street? I don’t get it! If you are too lazy to get to a local bin at least take it home with you and bin it there. I don’t think anyone would like it if someone littered our home so don’t litter the environment which is home to all creatures and animals. About 498600 tonnes of waste were deposited at the dump site in Malta these past few years*. This can be reduced if we recycle and separate our waste so that it would be turned into something useful. *taken from “www.wasteservmalta.com”

Paper bags, take away boxes and more … is THIS what we want? Our land is getting littered more and more as seconds go by! What can we do? We should all feel the responsibility. Do not throw rubbish on the floor, it’s dirtying our land and causing more disease spread by insects. CLEAN THE LAND, MAKE IT YOUR FRIEND.

These photographs show the difference between clean and polluted seawater. One of the pictures was taken at Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq. Although hardly visible, the presence of foul smell in the area, possibly indicated contaminated seawater due to sewage discharge. In contrast, the other photograph was taken at Sliema, where the sea was clear and unpolluted. As a young reporter for the environment, I recommend the launch of an awareness campaign such that more people reduce, separate and dispose of waste responsibly. For example, people should use the waste separation bins found on different beaches around Malta. Furthermore, the authorities should ensure that the local waste water treatment plants are working in an efficient manner to safeguard the marine environment.

As young reporters for the environment, we were invited to attend the Turtle Release event organised by Nature Trust (Malta) and its Wildlife Rescue Team. This educational activity was held at the Blue Flag beach of Paradise Bay Hotel at Cirkewwa-Malta. These photographs show one of the injured turtles which was found by local fishermen after swallowing fishing hooks and nylon. The turtles were first taken in at the Malta Aquaculture Research Centre, Forti San Lucjan Marsaxlokk. Further medical treatment was provided by Nature Trust and its Wildlife Rescue volunteers and veterinary surgeon Dr.Anthony Gruppetta. Other serious threats to marine turtles include marine debris such as floating plastic bags and oil spills. A public campaign should be launched such that ship operators and boat owners do their utmost to keep our seas clean, thus protecting these marine creatures.
