HSBC Malta Foundation supports BirdLife Malta’s Nature Guardians Summer Course

BirdLife Malta expressed its gratitude to the HSBC Malta Foundation for supporting the Nature Guardians Summer 2025 Edition — a 10-session outdoor experience designed to inspire and empower the next generation of environmental stewards.

Through this collaboration, 15 children aged 7 to 11 are participating in a hands-on nature journey at Salina Nature Reserve, taking place every Tuesday evening between July and September 2025. The programme combines science, exploration and outdoor fun, introducing children to Malta’s natural environment through activities such as birdwatching, soil and water testing, insect hotel building, habitat care and nature games — all aimed at deepening their connection with the natural world.

Glenn Bugeja, on behalf of the HSBC Malta Foundation, said: “Through the Nature Guardians Summer Course, we are nurturing a generation that values and protects our natural environment. The HSBC Malta Foundation is proud to support this initiative, which empowers young people to become informed, active stewards of Malta’s rich biodiversity.

This initiative forms part of the HSBC Malta Foundation’s broader commitment to sustainability and community engagement.” BirdLife Malta CEO Mark Sultana expressed appreciation for the support. “Support like this makes it possible for more children to benefit from meaningful outdoor experiences that shape their understanding of the environment and the importance of conservation,” he said.
