ECO

ECO, The Malta Ecological Foundation was set up officially on the 12 August, 1992. It is a Non Governmental Organisation that is comprehensive in its approach. It aims to run concrete ecological programmes and to support and multiply these efforts through policy, awareness, and education programmes. Through its volunteers and employees, ECO has access to the decision making levels in the Maltese Islands and through its lobbying has had various achievements. The organization has gained credibility and a national reputation for its science-based and rational approach, working through dialogue and partnership rather than confrontation. On the international scale ECO is known as an ideal partner, especially in matters related to the Mediterranean and European regions.

ECO´s Mission

ECO aims to conserve nature and ecological processes in the Maltese Islands by:
- ensuring that the use of renewable resources is sustainable both now and in the longer term
- promoting actions to reduce pollution and the wasteful exploitation and consumption of resources and energy.
- preserving genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity

ECO's ultimate goal is to see the Maltese people live in a sustainable manner and to help build a future in which humans live in harmony with their environment.
