First Turtle Nesting Site Located at Ramla l-Ħamra

Jun 18 2023

In a recent morning patrol along the picturesque shores of Ramla l-Hamra in Gozo, the dedicated Wildlife Rescue Team made a remarkable discovery. They stumbled upon a turtle crawl, indicating that a turtle had ventured onto the beach to lay its eggs. Recognising the significance of this find, the team wasted no time in sharing the news on social media, ensuring that the community was aware of the remarkable occurrence.

Understanding the importance of their discovery, the Wildlife Rescue Team swiftly contacted the officials from ERA – Environment & Resources Authority. Realising the urgency, both teams joined forces and gathered at the site to investigate further. Their collective efforts led to the confirmation of a nesting chamber, solidifying the presence of a turtle nest.

To further support their cause, the Wildlife Rescue Team extended an open invitation to individuals eager to contribute to the protection of these majestic creatures. They encouraged interested volunteers to reach out via email at [email protected] for more details on how they could get involved.

The tireless efforts of passionate individuals like Betty and Samuel, who had a keen eye for the turtle crawl, were applauded. The Wildlife Rescue Team also expressed their gratitude to ERA for their swift response and collaborative spirit, emphasising the significance of such partnerships in safeguarding wildlife and their habitats.

According to a recent released report by the National Statistics Office (NSO), the number of reported traffic accidents in the first quarter of 2023 has reached 3,822, marking a concerning increase of 6.3% compared to the same period last year.

The report reveals that the Northern Harbour district recorded the highest number of accidents, accounting for 1,369 cases (35.8% of the total). The situation is further exacerbated by the fact that road traffic casualties have risen by 13.3% to reach 367, with 96 individuals sustaining grievous injuries. Among these, 52 were drivers, 8 were passengers, and 36 were pedestrians, cyclists, or others. Tragically, four fatalities occurred, with one driver and three pedestrians losing their lives. Although there has been a slight decrease in the number of fatalities compared to the same period last year, these incidents demand immediate attention and action.

The data highlights the disproportionate impact on males, with 77.1% of those grievously injured being male. Furthermore, all the fatalities involved males, with individuals aged between 26 to 40 representing 39.8% of the casualties. Passenger cars accounted for the largest number of road traffic casualties at 53.1%, followed by motorcycles at 34.6%. These statistics underscore the pressing need for enhanced road safety measures, increased awareness campaigns, and stricter enforcement to curb reckless driving practices and protect lives on Malta’s roads.

While being away from them, he missed their presence and cherished the memories they shared.

Kindness Prevails: Police Officer’s Small Gesture Wins Hearts

Jun 18 2023

A video circulating on TikTok features a police squad attempting to park next to the police station in Valletta. The video shows that the motorbike behind the police vehicle did not notice that the police car was trying to enter the parking spot, resulting in insufficient space for the police squad to reverse into the parking bay.

To resolve the situation, one of the policemen in the car stepped out to assist in pushing back the motorbike, clearing the way for the police car to park.

Although this may seem like a minor act, it was highly appreciated by the motorbike driver and everyone who watched and commented on the video. Many viewers expressed their belief that all police officers should display kindness, friendliness, and helpfulness, similar to the officer depicted in the video.
