Eight organisations announced a national protest demanding urgent environmental and planning reform. Xebbajtuna! Bidla fl-Ambjent u l-Ippjanar ISSA! will be held on Saturday 27 May 2023, starting from the Tritons Fountain at 10.30am.
Our demands:
1. to change planning policies in order to stop the wave of construction that is harmful to the Maltese islands;
2. to radically reform all institutions responsible for the environment, planning and lands;
3. to build an economic model that seeks a better quality of life for everyone instead of endless economic growth based on the profits of the few.
Join the protest and share the information on your social media!

Support the environmental activists from Bosnia and Herzegovina!
Sunčica Kovačević and Sara Tuševljak, two law students from Bosnia & Herzegovina, are being sued by the Belgian-based company Green Invest for fighting against the construction of a toxic hydropower plant and defending the Kasindolska river, East Sarajevo.
“When activists stand up and protect ecosystems, you have to stand with them, especially when they try to silence them. If we remain silent, then we are also accomplices in crime”, Daniel Ribiero, a Mozambican activist and member of Justiça Ambiental/Friends of the Earth Mozambique.

Do not miss the outburst of pink and cream funnel shaped flowers this month – this attractive pollinator plant grows both as a shrub and a climber. At the moment you can smell a delicate scent as it awaits pollination and in autumn it will produce oval shaped orange berries.
