Nature Trust (Malta) urges for Hondoq rehabilitation

Published on the Malta Independent on Wednesday 19th May, 2010.

Environmental NGO Nature Trust (Malta) appealed to the Malta Environment and Planning Authority not to consider the proposed mega project, including a marina, at Hondoq ir Rummien in Gozo. The NGO feels that this proposal goes against the Eco Gozo concept since it considers the development unsustainable.

Nature Trust (Malta) recommended that rather than the site being given for speculation and over development, the authorities should embark on rehabilitating it and changing it into a Green Park project with afforestation, nature trails and natural heritage concepts for the enjoyment of all Maltese and tourists alike. This would help to further attract eco tourism to Gozo and serve as another area on this Island where visitors can enjoy nature and admire the view on Comino and Malta, it said.
