From hooked to healing 🐢💪

Two juvenile turtles, Nadia and Maria, have been returned to their natural habitat after undergoing nearly two months of rehabilitation at the Wildlife Rehab Centre project.

The Wildlife Rehab Centre Project, supported by the Environment and Resources Authority (ERA) and managed by Nature Trust Malta (NTM), focuses on the recovery of injured wildlife.

Nadia was rescued on August 4 when discovered floating with a hook in her mouth, while Maria was saved on August 20 after consuming a significant amount of plastics and displaying several old scars from prior injuries.

NTM’s President and CEO, Vince Attard, once again stressed the importance of maintaining clean and plastic-free beaches, making an appeal to the public.
