| Abstract: | As a Small Island State, it has its particular vulnerabilities and constraints (Briguglio, 1995), which include small territory size; high degree of economic openness; dependence on a very narrow range of exports; dependence on imports, most prominently energy and industrial supplies; and insularity (Government of Malta, 2002). Main environmental challenges in this regard relate to landscape; land development; water status; climate; biodiversity loss; degradation of natural resources; population; waste management; tourism pressures; energy consumption; bird shooting and hunting; air quality; use of vehicles (Moncada, Camilleri, Formosa & Galea, 201 0; Zammit, 2009; Government of Malta, 2002). |
