About [Edit]
The Gaia Foundation exists to protect Malta 's environment and promote sustainable living. It was formed in June, 1994
To promote and implement ways through which human beings can interact meaningfully with their environment without denying future generations their right to do the same.
The focus of Project Gaia is the integrated management of specially protected coastal zone areas in the Maltese Islands. In August 1996 the foundation entered into a contract with the Environment Protection Department to manage the Ghajn Tuffieha coastal area. This was renewed in 1998 and again in 2004. It was followed by a management contract for ir-Ramla in Gozo, endorsed by the Department in December 2000. The main objectives set to be achieved by the foundation are:
- to understand and find ways to protect the ecology of the managed sites
- to restore the environmental and cultural aspects of the sites
- to enhance visitors' enjoyment of the sites
- to inform and educate the public on the concept of sustainability, and
- to provide a prototype for similar projects.
