Malta has an obligation to contribute to the creation of the Natura 2000 network within Europe, as specified in the EC Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) and the EC Birds Directive (2009/147/EC). In this regard, Malta designated a number sites to form part of this network with the aim to protect naturally occurring wild species and their habitats.
