The Environment and Resources Authority (ERA) in Malta is responsible for ensuring that all development projects that may affect important habitats, species, or trees are carried out in an environmentally responsible manner. In order to do this, the ERA has implemented a number of nature permitting regulations and procedures.

There are a number of different types of permits related to developments and works:

• Nature permits for important species and habitats

• Tree permits

• Disposal to sea permits

• Waste consignment permits

Nature permitting is required for any development project that may affect important habitats or species. These projects are reviewed by the ERA to determine their potential impact on the environment. If it is determined that the project may have a significant impact, the ERA will require that measures be taken to mitigate any potential harm. The ERA may also require that an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) be carried out to fully assess the potential impact of the project on the environment.

Tree permitting is required for any works that may affect trees that are protected under Maltese law. This includes all indigenous trees, as well as non-indigenous trees that have been designated as protected. The tree permitting process involves an assessment of the tree's health and value, as well as the potential impact of the proposed works on the tree. The ERA may require that measures be taken to protect the tree during the works, or that compensation be provided for any loss of trees.
