Pet Turtle Found At Għar Lapsi By Exterminator

Jun 26 2023

Taking to social media, Arnold Sciberras, also known as The Exterminator, picked up a turtle from Għar Lapsi which should not have been there.

‘Does this beautiful specimen belong roaming around at Għar Lapsi? Heck no’, wrote the biologist.

‘This is one of the countless terrapins we saved and protected the local diversity from. Keep your pets at home’ the post ended.

The photo shows what seems to be a yellow bellied slider, a land and water turtle which is normally kept as a pet. The reptile was found in the Lapsi area, despite not being typical salt water turtles.

The Boy Tackling Illegal Dumping In Malta’s Seas

Jun 26 2023

Benjamin Calleja Falzon is a young De la Salle College student who just finished year 6, and through his new project is tackling illegal dumping in the Maltese islands, especially tiles in the sea!

Through his school, Benjamin had the opportunity to join the ‘Young Reporters for the Environment Malta,’ which is a global platform which encourages and teaches 11 to 25 year olds all about environmental contribution.

Ben focused his attention on illegal dumping, specifically tiles in our ocean.

‘His mission is to spread awareness on the subject of illegal dumping and hope to insure others to start doing simple things to help protect the earth’.

Taking to Paradise Bay, with the help of NGO Żibel providing supplies for the clean-up, he was surprised by the amount of micro plastics he found, prompting him to go back and clean up.

Through a Facebook page, he promoted the event and assembled a small group of children and adults to clean up the bay and successfully collected and correctly disposed of 4 large bags of litter.

This was his first organised beach clean up, but he plans on doing more in the future. If you wish to support Benjamin, make sure to follow his Tiles From The Ocean Page for further clean ups!
