The strategic goals set out in the draft National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) for Malta are translated into the following action-based and outcome-oriented measures, which are grouped into 18 thematic areas, and must be achieved by 2020.

Theme 10: Communication, education and public awareness (Code PA1-3)

PA1: Malta continues its biodiversity campaign to celebrate the UN Decade for Biodiversity through audience-targeted programmes on communication, education and public awareness (CEPA), which adopt a wide range of communication tools and media. Such a campaign aims at increasing communication, education and awareness.

PA2: A National Biodiversity Database incorporating updated red data lists is completed by 2016. The database is a mechanism for maintaining and organising data on biodiversity. It is launched on Malta’s Clearing House Mechanism (CHM) thereby creating a one-stop shop for access to updated biological information on species and habitats, and measures in place to protect them.

PA3: A communication campaign on Natura 2000 is to be launched by 2013/2014.

Mepa published the draft National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) for Malta on February 28. The NBSAP aims to set Malta on the right track to meet its own biodiversity and other environmental objectives, as well as its international commitments, by 2020.
