Campers Who Violate the Rules Could Face Serious Fines

 
 
 

According to Samira Al-Kandari, the Acting Director General of the EPA, the initiative aims to educate the public on the significance of preserving Kuwait’s desert ecosystems. The campaign highlights the importance of following the regulations set forth in the Environmental Protection Law, especially those concerning land and agricultural preservation.

The campaign stresses adherence to the Environmental Protection Law's provisions, especially Articles 40 to 47, which address land protection and wildlife conservation. Violators of these regulations could face fines ranging from 250 dinars to 5,000 dinars. Activities like soil pollution, hunting, and damaging wildlife habitats are prohibited.

To ensure compliance, the EPA is coordinating efforts with the Kuwait Municipality, striving to organize the camping season in an environmentally responsible manner. This collaboration ensures the smooth execution of camping regulations, safeguarding Kuwait’s natural beauty.

Al-Kandari stressed the role of social responsibility in protecting the environment. By educating desert campers and promoting adherence to environmental laws, the EPA hopes to foster a culture of environmental stewardship that extends beyond the spring camping season.

The campaign aims to prevent activities that damage Kuwait's environment, such as altering soil properties, polluting land, or hunting endangered species. Other restricted actions include encroaching on nature reserves and exploiting agricultural lands in a way that promotes desertification. Aimed at preserving biodiversity, these guidelines play a vital role in maintaining the health of Kuwait’s ecosystems.

By adhering to the guidelines of the Environmental Protection Law and promoting environmental awareness, the EPA's campaign hopes to protect Kuwait's natural landscapes. Ensuring the sustainability of the country's ecosystems during the camping season—and beyond—is crucial for future generations.
