August Flower of the Month: Sea Squill (MT: Basal tal-Għansar) Drimia maritima
August is one of the toughest months for all wildlife and few plants have the resilience to survive the scorching heat and drought of the Maltese dry season. Annual species usually complete their life cycle before the heat while perennials adopt extreme strategies such as by having tiny but tough leaves, by going dormant in summer or by drastically reducing their greenery.

The ‘COP26’ UN Climate Change Conference – Why You Should Care
This November marks the 26th UN Climate Change Conference (COP26), which is to be held in Glasgow. The COP is normally convened every year, and it represents the foremost opportunity for all the heads of state from around the world to come together and attempt to come to agreements on coordinated responses to the climate crisis, through prolonged negotiation and consultations. Also in attendance will be climate experts, lobbyists and campaigners, all trying to influence the outcome of the talks. As we all know by now, urgent action is required globally if we are to avoid the worst effects of the climate crisis, and that no one country acting on their own will be enough, so these talks represent the formal attempts of the world’s national governments to address this need for collective action.
