This photo shows a native carob tree being covered by ivy, a plant that is not indigenous to Malta. As the ivy grows, it can wrap around the tree and block sunlight, making it harder for the tree to grow and stay healthy. This image shows how non-native plants can affect local species. Protecting native plants is important because they support local wildlife and biodiversity. By managing invasive plants and caring for native trees, we can help keep our natural environments stay healthy.
