Malta launches 2030 biodiversity strategy and action plan

VALLETTA, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- By 2030, 30 percent of Malta's land and fishery zone will be legally protected, according to a biodiversity strategy and action plan released on Thursday.

The plan aims to integrate the land and the fishery zones into a comprehensive National Ecological Network. The network will be both ecologically representative and sustainable. Additionally, the management of Natura 2000 sites, which are already designated as protected areas, will be strengthened as part of this initiative.
