In connection with S.L. 549.44 – Flora, Fauna and Natural Habitats Regulations, Conservation Orders have been established to safeguard areas of ecological and scientific importance across Malta. These include Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), designated at both the national and international levels.
These Conservation Orders provide legally binding measures to ensure the protection and management of habitats and species within these designated sites. SACs are critical for maintaining Malta’s biodiversity, as they protect habitats recognised under the EU Habitats Directive.
