Alex Camilleri, Deputy Director within ERA, participated in a discussion during the Annual General Meeting organised by the Eastern Regional Council, on the theme: ‘From Nature to Neighbourhood: Safeguarding Our Region’s Natural Heritage While Shaping the Built Environment.’

The discussion highlighted the importance of protecting and preserving the natural environment, including its landscapes, biodiversity, and open spaces.

It-tim li jaħdem fuq il-Kwalità tal-Arja fi ħdan l-ERA ġie rikonoxxut bil-premju “Most Improved Informative Inventory Report” għall-progress u l-kisbiet tiegħu fir-rapportar dwar l-emissjonijiet matul il-laqgħa tat- ‘Task Force on Emission Inventory and Projections’ (TFEIP) ta’ din is-sena, grupp stabbilit taħt il-‘UNECE Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution’ 👏🌍

It-TFEIP isservi bħala forum tekniku biex tappoġġa lill-Partijiet fit-titjib tal-kalkoli tal-emissjonijiet u fit-tisħiħ tat-trasparenza fir-rapportar skont il-Konvenzjoni dwar l-Arja.

Iż-Żmien Li Naraw Fkieren Ibejtu F’Malta Wasal – Skopri Dak Li Għandek Toqgħod Attent Għalih F'Dawn Iż-Żminijiet! Hekk kif toqrob l-istaġun fejn taf nilmħu xi bejta fuq il-bajja, jew inkella xi fekruna tiela' mill-baħar f’Malta, qed issir sejħa importanti lill-pubbliku biex ikun aktar konxju u responsabbli meta jżur il-bajjiet matul dan il-perjodu sensittiv.

Illum niċċelebraw il-Jum Dinji tal-Fekruna 🐢

Il-fekruna komuni hija waħda mill-ispeċi ta’ fkieren li tinstab fl-ibħra Maltin. Din l-ispeċi vulnerabbli hija protetta minn diversi liġijiet lokali u internazzjonali.

Hekk kif joqrob ix-xahar ta’ Ġunju, huwa importanti li nibqgħu viġilanti hekk kif dawn il-fkieren jersqu lejn ix-xtut lokali biex ibidu. F’dan il-perjodu kritiku, l-ERA flimkien ma’ Nature Trust Malta jaħdmu biex jipproteġu dawn il-bejtiet bħala parti mill-isforzi ta’ konservazzjoni tal-awtorità.

Jekk tiltaqgħu ma’ fekruna jew marki tal-fkieren fir-ramel, irrapportaw lill-ERA fuq 22923500 jew lil Nature Trust - FEE Malta Wildlife Rescue Team fuq 9999 9505.

Today is World Turtle Day 🐢

The loggerhead turtle is the most common species found in Maltese waters. This vulnerable species is protected by a number of local and international laws.

As June approaches it is important to keep vigilant as these turtles make their way to local beaches to lay their eggs. During this critical time ERA along with Nature Trust Malta works to protect these nests as part of the authority's conservation efforts.

If you spot a turtle or turtle tracks in the sand, submit a report to ERA via 22923500 or to Nature Trust Malta on 9999 9505.

L-ERA reċentement laqgħet student li qed jipparteċipaw f’programm ta’ Stage Malta għal żjara interessanti dwar il-monitoraġġ ambjentali u n-netwerks tal-kwalità tal-arja 🔬🌍

Is-sessjoni inkludiet taħdita dwar ir-rwol tal-Ambient Monitoring Unit, kif ukoll tour fil-laboratorju fejn l-istudenti raw kif tiġi żgurata d-data tal-kwalità tal-arja permezz ta’ kalibrazzjoni, manutenzjoni, kundizzjonar u l-użin tal-filtri.

Din iż-żjara tat lill-istudenti fehim aħjar ta’ kif ix-xjenza u l-monitoraġġ kontinwu jappoġġjaw il-protezzjoni ambjentali u jgħinu biex tiġi mħarsa l-kwalità tal-arja ta’ Malta.

ERA recently welcomed students participating in a Stage Malta programme for an engaging visit about ambient monitoring and air quality networks 🔬🌍

The session included a talk on the role of ERA’s Ambient Monitoring Unit, followed by a laboratory tour where students saw how air quality data is ensured through calibration, maintenance, conditioning, and filter weighing.

The visit gave students a better understanding of how science and continuous monitoring support environmental protection and help safeguard Malta’s air quality.
