With the deep faith in its Arab and Islamic belonging, both in identity and location, and upon its belief in the importance of the cultural work as a base to establish a large Arab community and as an engine to a comprehensive evolution in all aspects of life, Kuwait took upon itself the task of developing the Arab culture and exporting it to the Arab nation. Culture is indeed a cumulative work that benefits from the work of the past yet aiming towards the future to make a new tomorrow and a better life. Since its inception, and as the cultural arm of the State of Kuwait, the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters has had a keen interest in the implementation of the State’s plan to enhance and promote the cultural development, not only locally but also in the entire Arab culture.

The ecosystems at risk may be either terrestrial or oceanic and either arctic, temperate or tropical. The terrestrial ones may be continental or insular, either forest, grassland or desert, the oceanic ones may be estuarine, littoral (near shore), over the continental shelves or within ocean basins. Damage may be inflicted either directly or indirectly and range from subtle to dramatic.”1 There is renewed evidence that warfare involves conflicts not only between the combatants, but also between man and nature. The ability of modern warfare to devastate the natural environment has become ever more obvious: animal species become extinct, forests become deserts, fertile farmland becomes a minefield, water becomes contaminated and native vegetation disappears.
