Over construction in Malta is harming the environment in many ways. When too many buildings are built, natural spaces like fields, trees and rocky areas disappear. This means birds, insects and other animals lose their homes. The construction world also creates a lot of dust and noise, which makes the air dirty and can bother people or animals. More buildings mean more cars on the road, causing traffic and air pollution. When there are fewer trees and gardens there is less shade, so towns become hotter, especially in summer. Without enough green spaces, rainwater cannot soak into the ground properly. This can lead to flooding. It’s important to protect nature so Malta stays clean, green and beautiful for everyone.
