Today, BirdLife Malta is commemorating International Day for Biological Diversity when it will be joining with Malta withNature2020: a global collaborative artwork for biodiversity which will unite diverse communities across the world.

In this live international event, giant images of locally endangered plant and animal species will be created at 5pm local time in locations from east to west: a tapestry of species unfurling in real time, which will be filmed and transmitted on YouTube and other social media platforms.

BirdLife Malta and Majjistral Nature and History Park have teamed up for Malta withNature 2020, and at Golden Bay in Malta will be creating a giant image of the Yelkouan Shearwater – one of Malta’s breeding seabirds.

BirdLife Malta volunteers have been busy creating this giant image since early this morning, with 500 pieces of coloured clothing being laid on the ground to generate and photograph this from above to show it live.

In this way BLM said that they will be raising awareness on the importance of protecting our local nature and ecosystem.

After the event the clothes used to create the Yelkouan Shearwater will be donated to the Inspire Foundation.

The images are being broadcast all day and started with Auckland, New Zealand early this morning and will come to an end late this evening with the last image to be broadcast from Washington, USA).

Don’t forget to view this international event which is transmitting live throughout the day and from Malta it will be transmitted live on Youtube. at 5pm.
