ERA supported the second edition of the Sustainable Development Action Awards 2026, which recognise initiatives that contribute to sustainable development and environmental protection. During the event, Suzanne Gauci, Deputy Director within ERA, presented the Environment Award to BirdLife Malta for its project, Shifting Sands – Restoring Malta’s Dunes.

The project is carrying out important restoration work at the Għadira Nature Reserve to restore Malta’s dune ecosystem, protect local biodiversity, and strengthen the conservation of one of the country’s rarest natural environments.

Congratulations to BirdLife Malta and everyone involved on this recognition, as well as to Nature Trust Malta (FEE Malta) and Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar, who were award finalists in this category.
