It never ever crossed my mind to expect any form of gratitude out of fervent BirdLife apologist, Sir!

@ r. sammut : So, we should be grateful to these people, you try to make us think. I don't think so. I will let the shot and trapped birds do the clapping! Listen to them!

This exercise has cost the Malta government a few thousands less in areas managed by hunters, as Ahrax and Mizieb locality of Mellieha. In the voluntary annual clean up, carried out by hunters, tonnes of rubbish are collected each year for the past 26years! Together with other odd jobs as pruning and planting of trees, and rubble wall building!

Few people are aware of this work because of the meagre coverage given in the media!

According to the effort is the reward.
The value and power of working hard and succeding in this clean up campaign.
You put all your efforts and succeded. Many want good things in our environment but the only true way to reach this goal is to be willing to work hard...........like you did : )

@D Vella

The deadline you mention goes back to 1997 if I remember correctly. since then, the countryside has become a rubbish dump again.

I think Mepa should have ordered the farmers to remove them. Now the problem is who is going to foot the bill. Again the taxpayer?

The minister should first educate the people not to pull down such rubble walls to look for snails and then introduce a scheme to help farmers and tenants with funds to rebuild these walls.

This exercise sounds expensive. What happened to the scheme wherby farmers and tenants or rural land were given a deadline to remove metal drums and other junk used to fill in gaps in rubble walls or else have them removed by the authorities at their expense??

Well done! Anything that is being done to remove eyesores like this from the countryside must be congratulated.

If you want tourists to keep coming, action like this can only help. Keep it up.
