Wetlands are nature’s unsung heroes. These vital ecosystems protect biodiversity, store carbon, filter water, and act as natural defenses against flooding and erosion.
To highlight their importance, World Wetlands Day is celebrated globally on the 2nd February, raising awareness of their critical role in safeguarding our planet’s health.
This year, the Salina Wetland is inviting locals and tourists alike to join the celebration with a full day of activities and exploration. From 8am to 4pm, the wetland will be open to the public, offering a unique opportunity to connect with this beautiful habitat.
Visitors can immerse themselves in the wonders of wetlands, learn about their ecological importance, and enjoy the tranquil experience of birdwatching.
Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, a bird lover, or simply curious, the event provides an enriching way to appreciate and understand the significance of wetlands in our environment.
Best of all, the event is completely free and requires no prior registration. Just drop by and join the festivities!
Mark your calendars for this special occasion and take the chance to experience one of Malta’s natural gems up close.
