These photos show the life cycle of a marrow plant. In the first photo, the plant is small and just starting to grow. In the second photo, it becomes bigger and starts to produce flowers. In the third photo, we can see the flower and the marrow growing, showing how the plant produces food step by step. However, growing plants like this is becoming harder due to problems like lack of water, pollution, and loss of natural soil. These issues can affect how well plants grow and reduce the food we can produce. We can help by saving water, avoiding harmful chemicals, and growing plants in a more natural and sustainable way. Photo 1 – A small marrow plant begins to grow. Photo 2 – The plant grows bigger and starts to flower. Photo 3 – The flower develops into a growing marrow.

A small snail lives in the gaps of a traditional Maltese rubble wall, showing how these walls create safe habitats for wildlife. Unlike concrete walls, which are smooth and lifeless, rubble walls provide shelter, moisture, and protection for tiny organisms. This image highlights the importance of preserving rubble walls in Malta, as they support biodiversity and keep nature alive even in built environments.

Malta’s fragile ecosystems under threat by modern progress

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.

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.
