A Government Wildlife Sancturary in KuwaitFarah | 5/9/2011 9:39:57 AM Wouldn't it be wonderful to pack the family up in the car and visit a government sponsored wildlife sanctuary located in landscaped lush gardens with not only an array of wildlife on display indignous to Kuwait , but to view wildlife that has been donated by other GCC nations at the sanctuary? How tranquil a place this would be and a fine effort to protect the endanged wildlife in Kuwait and to promote the protection of wildlife in the GCC which other GCC nations have already accomplished. This is possible and there are areas that are already landscaped in Kuwait where a wildlife sancturary can be built. Kuwaitis could be trained by neighboring GCC countries on how to care for the animals. It would benefit the pride of the nation. Just a suggestion!
