Public awareness on the protection of biodiversity is growing by leaps and bounds. This can be seen both on social media and in the primary and secondary schools, thanks to the dedication and hard work of teachers.
Without hesitation, a primary school student can tell what endemic means: a species of flora or fauna whose native distribution is limited to a specific place only. Examples are the national plant of Malta, the Maltese rock-centaury (Widnet il-baħar), and the Maltese Everlasting (Sempreviva ta’ Għawdex).
These two can be found growing wild only in the Maltese islands. That is why they are endemic and so their seeds are not found overseas and, as such, cannot be imported.
