Efforts to protect wetlands amid climate change
The Kuwait Environmental Protection Society emphasizes the need to protect Kuwait’s wetlands, given their global environmental significance and their role in adapting to climate change. The country hosts important sites such as the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Reserve in Bubiyan and Goun, which welcome millions of migrating birds annually and are essential for promoting biodiversity and ecosystem services. Reports indicate that over 35% of the world’s wetlands have been lost since 1970, with a significant biological decline, reflecting direct threats to biodiversity and the planet’s ability to combat climate change. The Society underscores the importance of strengthening national efforts to rehabilitate protected areas, expand conservation initiatives, and foster collaboration among stakeholders to ensure their sustainability.
