BirdLife Malta's campaign for the 2013 elections.
Only one of the 70 PN candidates and only three from the Labour Party's 84 candidates have answered to a questionnaire by BirdLife Malta about the environment.
On the other hand, all of the nine Alternattiva Demokratika - the Green Party - candidates returned the questionnaires completed.
The candidates were asked by the environment NGO to state their positions on a number of important issues relating to wildlife and the countryside.
"We believe that people have a right to know the positions of their general election candidates on issues which affect the majority of people in Malta and that the candidates have a democratic obligation to answer these questions," BirdLife said in a statement.
