Abstract

The conscience of a conservationist will find little to comfort it when faced with the Maltese Nature setting. Pillage and destruction are so commonplace, reckless and habitual that one can only reflect upon the scene with extreme nausea. Of course only a sensitive mind will acknowledge that much. For the wreckers, having banded themselves in a caucus of self-interest, have arrogantly claimed that any improvement in conserving Nature in Malta will be suggested by themselves when the need is felt! It is a classical case of the devils organizing hell; but then the man with the gun has never been remarkable for his intelligence.
