Paul P. Borg

Paul P. Borg is a creator, researcher, ethnographer, author and poet. As a Chartered Environmentalist (Society for the Environment, UK), he has written numerous articles on the environment and social change, combining important social and historical elements in his works to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between the human condition and one’s environment. He was awarded the prestigious Premio Nazionale Gianfranco Merli per l’Ambiente (2010) by the Italian environmental movement ‘Movimento Azzurro’, for his research in Quest for Identity (2010) and was also honoured with the Medal for Service to the Republic by the Maltese Government, for his contribution to the development of the Maltese language (2014). He believes that literature reflects human suffering, so that his works depict times when freedom of expression and political beliefs in a predominantly Christian society, were literally killed by the imposition of mortal sin, when learning was equated to eternal damnation, and when the vernacular language was oppressed. His publications graphically expose the murder of innocent beings and human torment in an asylum. The common thread in Borg’s work is the reminder that only by keeping Mother Nature out of harm’s way and empathising with the oppressed will humanity be able to prevent man from being wolf to man.
