In the tranquil island of Jukdo, adjacent to Ulleungdo in South Korea, an unexpected star has emerged on Google Maps – Maru, the golden retriever. With over 1,000 appearances in Street View shots, Maru has become the beloved tour guide of this picturesque locale, endearing himself to visitors and locals alike.

Maru’s journey began when a Google Maps photographer ventured to Jukdo to capture its breathtaking landscapes. Little did they anticipate that their expedition would be accompanied by a furry companion. Maru, with his friendly disposition, acted as the perfect guide, even patiently waiting for the camera person if they momentarily strayed in the woods.

Known to the island’s inhabitants for seven years, Maru is described as ‘super nice’ to all who cross his path. His unexpected fame on Google Maps came to light when an eagle-eyed Reddit user shared the discovery, affectionately dubbing him the ‘Google Earth guy’.

The internet swiftly fell in love with Maru, with many expressing their delight at seeing him in the Street View shots. Some even humorously suggested they’d prefer navigation guided by Maru, while others lauded the idea of having this ‘good girl’ featured in every shot.

Maru’s heartwarming tale echoes that of other animal companions who have become local landmarks, emphasizing the profound connection between humans and animals. As Maru continues to spread joy and warmth on Jukdo, his presence serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures found in unexpected encounters and the enduring companionship offered by our furry friends.

Independence Garden in Birżebbuġa is undergoing a rejuvenation project to breathe new life into this beloved community space. Minister Miriam Dalli, alongside Project Green CEO Joseph Cuschieri and Birżebbuġa Mayor Scott Camilleri, visited the site to observe ongoing works and meet the renovation team.

The 1,500 square-metre Independence Garden has been a cherished spot for leisure and relaxation, but it required significant repairs and enhancements due to aging structures. Project Green is overseeing the transformation, which includes adding new ramps for accessibility, paved areas, shading canopies, refurbishing the water feature, installing an irrigation system, planting new trees and shrubs, and other improvements.

Minister Dalli highlighted the government’s commitment to investing in new and revitalizing existing open spaces through initiatives like Project Green. This includes the recent opening of the Bengħajsa Family Park and ongoing efforts to enhance smaller gardens across residential areas for community well-being.

Architect Jessica Galea from Project Green emphasized the importance of accessibility in creating sustainable and vibrant environments that promote healthier lifestyles and connection with nature. Project Green is also involved in various environmental projects across Malta and Gozo, with plans to convert 8,000 square metres of land into new open spaces in several localities.

Earlier achievements by Project Green include Malta’s first pollinator garden in San Gwann, which educates visitors about bees and biodiversity. The agency’s initiatives aim to enhance quality of life and sustainability, contributing to a greener and more inclusive future for all. More information is available on project.green and Project Green’s social media platforms.
