The ratification of the Landscape Convention is seen as a “strong tool” for NGOs, such as Din l-Art Ħelwa, in their efforts to protect and preserve Malta’s natural and cultural landscapes. By ratifying the convention, Malta can further commit to the protection and management of its landscapes, ensuring that development is balanced with the need to preserve the country’s unique character and heritage.
This convention would provide NGOs with a stronger framework to advocate for the responsible stewardship of Malta’s landscapes, ultimately benefiting both the environment and future generations. Din l-Art Ħelwa’s stance highlights the importance of international cooperation and legal frameworks in safeguarding the country’s precious landscapes.
