This photo shows earthworms in the soil. Earthworms live underground and are important to keep the soil healthy. As they move through the soil, they create small tunnels that allow air and water to reach plant roots. Earthworms eat dead leaves and plant material in the soil and turn it into nutrients that help plants grow better. We can help protect soil life by composting food waste, and taking care of gardens and natural spaces.

Open and closed dandelions

This photo shows dandelion flowers. Some of the flowers are open, while others are still closed. Dandelions open their bright yellow flowers when there is sunlight and close them when it is darker or cooler. This helps protect the flower and its pollen. Dandelion flowers are important for insects like bees and butterflies. They provide nectar and pollen, which insects use for food. This helps the insects survive and also helps plants grow because insects carry pollen from flower to flower. Dandelions are not just weeds, they are very helpful for nature. They support pollinators and help keep ecosystems.

A home in the stone wall

This photo shows insects and snails living inside a rubble wall. The small gaps between the rocks create tiny homes where these animals can hide, rest, and stay safe. Rubble walls are very important for nature because they provide shelter for many small creatures like snails, spiders, beetles, and insects. These animals help the environment by breaking down dead plants, improving the soil, and being food for other animals like birds. In many places, old rubble walls are removed or replaced with smooth concrete walls. When this happens, many small animals lose their homes. We can help protect these creatures by taking care of rubble walls and natural spaces. Even small places like stone walls can be full of life.

Plastic Doesn’t Belong in Nature

This photo shows a plastic snack packet in green grass. The packet was left behind as litter. Even though it may seem small, plastic waste can cause big problems for the environment. Plastic does not break down easily and can stay in nature for many years. It can harm animals and also makes natural areas dirty and unhealthy. Keeping the environment clean is very important. People can help by putting trash in bins, recycling when possible, and using less plastic. Picking up litter can help protect nature and wildlife.

The Difference One Tree Makes

This photo shows two different areas of land. One part is under the shade of a tree, while the other part is in direct sunlight with no tree. The shaded area is cooler and more comfortable, while the area without shade is hotter and drier. Trees are very important for the environment. They provide shade that helps cool the ground and the air around us. Trees also give homes to animals, clean the air, and help keep the soil healthy. When trees are cut down, places can become hotter and less healthy for plants, animals, and people. We can help by planting more trees, and taking care of the trees in our communities. Trees help keep our planet cool and healthy.

A Little bee inside a hibiscus flower

This photo shows a small bee inside a hibiscus flower collecting nectar. While the bee moves around, pollen sticks to its body. When the bee visits another flower, it carries the pollen with it. This helps flowers grow seeds and new plants. This process is called pollination. Pollination is very important for nature and for the food we eat. Many plants need bees and other insects to help them grow fruits and seeds. Without bees, many plants would not survive. Bees are facing problems like loss of natural habitats, harmful pesticides, and climate change. We can help by planting more flowers, and using fewer chemicals.

Ir-Ragħaj

Hemm xi ħaġa li tissorprendik tassew fil-ħarsa lejn ir-ragħaj jimxi bil-mod fost il-merħla tiegħu, b’xejn ħlief xaghri miftuħa, fjuri selvaġġi, u l-Mediterran bla tarf jinfirex quddiemu. Jum bniedem bħal dan mhuwiex immexxi mir-ritmu magħġġel modern, iżda bir-ritmu naturali u l-ħtiġijiet tal-annimali tiegħu. F’din is-serenità tinsab għena kalma li d-dinja moderna, bl-istorbju tagħha, diffiċli tirreplikah. Nimleww ħajjitna bl-‘iscreens’, ġranet mimmlija, u storbju, u madankollu minn ġewwa nibqu vojta. Ir-ragħaj ma jeħtieġ xejn minn dan kollu. Jaf il-merħla tiegħu, jaf l-art tiegħu, u forsi l-aktar importanti, jaf lilu nnifsu. Għalhekk spazju miftuħa huma bżonnjużi għax huma lok fejn nerġu niġu inse’ magħna infusna u insiru nafu x’hemm tassew ġewwa fina.

The impact of construction

The image above shows a box holding several waste materials from the aftermath of constructing and drilling the ground, some of which include plants. It further implies that for some construction sites involving drilling or just simple architecture, it can damage the environment around it. Due to construction for newer and more modern buildings, fewer urban areas are being used, if not replaced for the massive number of structures being built in Malta and practically even our entire world. Yes, it can help Malta’s image; however, we still require nature’s power for our daily life, which, in most cases, is being destroyed. Unfortunately, we can’t just pause construction as it’s important for some requirements. The choice is in their hands, but my suggestion is that they reduce the amount of construction done in a city or area.
