This sight has become a common one in the Maltese Islands. This native plant, known as ‘Prickly Pear’ in English or ‘Bajtar tax-Xewk’ in Maltese, has many things to offer. One important factor is its delicious fruit which also contains vitamin C, beneficial to our health. However, instead of appreciating this, we Maltese decide to bury it under a pile of rubbish. This prevents water from going to its roots, causing this species to start dying. Disposing of bulky boxes and apparatus in skips offered by the local council would definitely be a good start.

This solitary Carob tree, otherwise known as ‘Ħarruba’ by the Maltese, is being left to die as a consequence of urbanisation. Apart from being one of the oldest trees in the Mediterranean, this tree is part of the Maltese flora and fauna and is supposedly protected by law. Why are there protection and awareness campaigns if we don’t start from the simplest things, such as banning any development in areas where these species are found?

Coastal garigue is an important natural habitat in the Maltese Islands. Several flora and fauna are found in this habitat including the national plant of Malta – Maltese Rock-centaury (Widnet il-Baħar), the Maltese Spider Orchid and the Maltese shrew. Endemic species are only found in Malta, thus form part of the world natural heritage. These species need to be protected especially from illegal dumping.

I need to reach the other side; my kids need food. On the other side, I can find something to eat but I need to cross a dangerous road. I am running as fast as I can but suddenly something hit me. Everything is getting darker…my poor children!! Please call Nature Trust Malta Wildlife Rescue Team on 99999505 to rescue my kids. I also want to appeal to all humans out there. Protect my children-place more hedgehog road crossing signs, use fewer pesticides, dump less litter or adopt a hedgehog by sending an email to [email protected] . With your help my little children can live longer and may finally cross to the other side.
