Since the launch of the LIFE programme by the European Commission in 1992, a total of 19 “traditional” projects have been co-financed in Malta. Of these, two focus on environmental innovation, six on nature conservation and biodiversity, three on information and communication and eight on capacity building. These projects represent a total investment of €17 million, of which €10.2 million has been contributed by the EU.
To date, one project under LIFE programme's new project categories, has been co-financed by the EU. It is a Technical Assistance project establishing an integrated framework in support of the implementation of Malta’s second River Basin Management Plan, the project’s total budget amounts to €0.9 million, of which the EU contributes €0.5 million.
The main aim of the LIFE-IP RBMP-MALTA project is to support the implementation of the second RBMP through the establishment of an integrated framework for the optimised management of all water resources on the Maltese islands
This project represents a total investment of €17 million, of which €10.2 million has been contributed by the EU.
This project aims to ensure the long-term recovery of the species in the central Mediterranean islands of Malta, by increasing the knowledge of colony sites, number of breeding pairs and reproductive output, and prevalent terrestrial threats; reduce the direct and indirect human-caused threats by managing them through informed concrete conservation actions; increase the number of breeding pairs by approximately 10% and the reproductive output of the majority of the breeding colonies by 25%; and tackle the targets of relevant policies, such as Malta’s National Strategy and Biodiversity Action Plan (2014-2020), Marine Strategy Framework Directive, Birds Directive and the Integrated Monitoring Programme of the Barcelona Convention.
This project represents a total investment of €1,261,940.00, of which € 757,220.00 has been contributed by the EU.
