Malti-Kulturali: Flora u Fawna - Il-Qanfud (Malta’s Nocturnal Native)

In this episode, students shine a spotlight on the Maltese hedgehog (qanfud), one of the island’s most iconic but vulnerable wild animals. Through a studio interview with a local expert, they explore the role of the qanfud in Malta’s ecosystem, the challenges it faces due to urbanisation and climate, and the growing efforts to protect and conserve this species. The discussion also touches on public misconceptions, the impact of social media, and how the Maltese public can help — including what to do if you find an injured hedgehog. 🎬 Produced by students of the Advanced Diploma in Video Production at the MCAST Institute for the Creative Arts, as part of the Malti-Kulturali: Flora u Fawna series. 🟢 Watch more episodes on the MCAST ICA Media YouTube channel 🔔 Subscribe for more student-led explorations of Malta’s natural and cultural heritage. #MaltiKulturali #Qanfud #MalteseHedgehog #MCASTICA #FloraUFawna #WildlifeConservation #MalteseNature #StudentProduction #HedgehogMalta #CreativeMedia
