The publication is the second of its kind.
To celebrate World Environment Day, a new environmental book has been released discussing the important roles Malta’s valleys play in the country’s ecological systems.
Entitled Mixja f’Wied il-Ghasel (A walk in the Valley of Honey), the booklet documents the variety of flora and fauna found in the valley located in the centre of Mosta.
World Environment Day is celebrated every year on 5th June, with a new theme presented each year. This year’s theme is ‘Beat Air Pollution.’
The publication, authored and designed by Jason Aloisio, is the second collaboration between HSBC Malta and the UNESCO Maltese National Commission. Mr Aloisio, a field teacher within BirdLife Malta, also published a previous publication of the sort titled Mixja f’Wied il-Lunzjata.
“It is hoped that these publications encourage teachers to engage their students in more outdoor activities, which will help them to appreciate our natural heritage and all forms of wildlife,” said HSBC Malta CEO Andrew Beane.
“This publication provides the opportunity to learn about the amazing wildlife we have living on our doorstep and to inspire teachers and children to enjoy being outdoors and learning with a different perspective,” said Sarah Brady, Education Manager at BirdLife Malta.
