OUR PROJECTS

With the support of Eden Leisure Foundation and InterContinental Malta, we launched the Malta Ranger Unit Junior Ranger program. 

It's a one-year program where your child will experience nature, learn how to protect it and also get a better understanding of the network behind the enforcement. All in a playful and educational way! 

The program is aimed for children aged 6-10 years old. Parent/legal guardian will be required to be present during the sessions.

MRU receives grant to up their operations and educate the Public .

We are proud to announce that our NGO (VO/2443) has received a grant from the Malta Environment Foundation (MEF).

This grant has enabled us to purchase professional camera equipment, both for daytime and nighttime monitoring purposes in hotspots for environmental crimes. We now have several teams fully equipped to efficiently document crimes and hand over evidence to Police.

The project will also involve several workshops to teach the public how to document environmental illegalities and the reporting process that follows.

In addition, several events will also be held for children and their families to experience the Maltese Dark sky with our Rangers.

We wish to thank the MEF for this opportunity!

Earlier this year our NGO (VO/2443) got a grant from MEF for the purchase of a vehicle. This vehicle will enable our Rangers to cover more areas in Malta and Gozo as well as starting to carry out more cleanups, CSR events and encouraging volunteer participation.

We wish to thank the MEF for this contribution to Environmental Protection.

MRU is going from strength to strength. Our Unit is increasing in number of volunteers and we are happy to see that also the reports from the general Public are on the increase.

We are seeing an increase also in requests from the educational sector for our Rangers to speak to their students about topics related to our work.

Together we will safeguard the Maltese countryside, curb the environmental crimes and lower the impunity. We will continue to put pressure on the decision-makers to close loopholes and boost the enforcement units of the Government, such as pushing for an EPU Police Unit in Gozo.

Rangers spreading awareness about sustainable camping.

Thanks to a grant given to us by the Malta Council for the Voluntary Sector, via the Small Initiative Support scheme (SIS), our Rangers had the opportunity to offer two groups of people from other NGOs to go camping and learn more about the legislations around the activity.

ADHD Malta and DareToBeMalta experienced a night under the stars at Qalet Marku.

The participants were taught how to:

•⁠  Set up a camp

•⁠  Kindle a campfire legally and responsibly

•⁠  Make sure not to have any negative impact

They were also given the opportunity to try the Rangers' thermal cameras to spot wildlife such as hedgehogs during the dark hours.

The event ended with admiring the sunrise over the sea, followed by a breakfast and hot drink.

We thank the participants for their interest in taking part and for their very giving discussions about nature. We all agreed that the connection to nature is vital for us all and that it's important to not lose it.

Nature has a positive impact on humans and very beneficial for the public health, both physical and mental.
