Bird Sanctuary

The evident improvement in the environment around GPIC has encouraged GPIC’s management to further enhance its special focus on the surroundings and especially Bahrain’s bird life. Dark coloured crabs which were becoming extinct on the shores of Bahrain have reappeared. For the first time in the summer of 2001, a large group of Flamingos (approximately 18 number) have stayed around the shores of GPIC. Normally they migrate to other countries and return to Bahrain in the winter. Their stay indicates that the sea and land around GPIC is suitable for flamingos and birds to live throughout the year. This has encourages GPIC’s management to establish a Bird Sanctuary at the complex for environmental and benevolent reasons under the directive and patronage of the GPIC General Manager. The bird sanctuary was commissioned on 9th September 2001. A small nesting area and fresh pond have been created for the birds to enjoy a natural habitant with a view to maintaining striving to improve the environment around the GPIC complex.
