EPA – Protect Kuwait’s flora, fauna
The Environment Public Authority (EPA) in accordance with Kuwait Municipality is responsible for governing and safe-guarding the protected areas and requests the public for conserving plants and wildlife especially during the months from November until March when the public is camping in the desert areas. The best months to visit and study Kuwait’s flora are January, February and March when the desert comes alive with colourful plants.
In order to protect the Kuwait fauna and flora public must adhere to: Certain designated areas which are allocated for camping and leisure purposes as a mode of preserving the desert environment; Avoid plucking and/or driving over and destroying the desert plants; Avoid driving in close proximity to the desert plant as it inevitably destroys life in its early stage as a lot of toxins is released from the car; Avoid driving over the burrows which belong to desert wildlife species; campers must clean the camping place before leaving; EPA also requests the public towards preservation of the Kuwait coral reefs and the marine environment during their visit to the Kuwait islands; Avoid hunting marine turtles and native/migratory birds who visit the islands; Avoid dumping waste into the sea and around the beach area to promote clean environment.
