On the environment and combating the causes of pollution at the local and regional levels is the starting whistle for the founding journey of the Kuwaiti Society for Environmental Protection, the first stop of which was the gathering and consultation of an elite group of Kuwaitis who believe in the necessity and importance of working to protect the Kuwaiti environment and preserve all its contents and capabilities after having touched upon the organized global trend towards environmental affairs. The initial discussions and meetings of Kuwaitis concerned with the environment resulted in the development of a preliminary draft to establish a Kuwaiti non-profit public benefit association concerned with the environment, and all the ideas of the founders were crystallized in a detailed official letter about the nature of the association’s work, its objectives, bodies, committees, working teams, and their tasks. It was then submitted to the Minister of Social Affairs and Labor with the aim of announcing the association. Environmental protection, as the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor issued Law No. (7) of 1974 with the actual approval of the announcement of the Environmental Protection Society in Kuwait. Then the name was changed to become the Kuwaiti Environmental Protection Society and then to the current name, the Kuwaiti Society for Environmental Protection.
