I am a foreigner but familiar with your culture. I understand that it is difficult for someone in your culture to hear criticism of it. That is because you have a collective shame based culture but in Europe, N America, Australasia, for example, it is an individualistic guilt based culture. If people criticize my culture, I will listen and either agree or provide specific argumentd against. I won't go into denial of the facts because it makes me feel ashamed.
The simple fact is that the government and people of Bahrain (with a couple of notable exceptions eg the bsuinessman who plants trees everywhere) have totally destroyed the environment in Bahrain. Some examples:
1) Tubli Bay has been reduced from 25 square km to 16 through illegal land reclamation. The government has done nothing about it
2) Look at the chmineys of Riffa Power Plant. when did you last see yellow sulphurus smoke ? Why is it there? Should it be there?
3) Question: How many public beaches are there? Answer: One - al jazayir. Question: Why. Answer: because ruling family members and trading families have taken away these beaches for their personal use. Question: How is it done in other countries, eg UK? Answer: The public (ie anyone) has full, access to beaches all around the UK
4) Nabi Saleh used to be a beautiful, palm covered island with fresh water pools. Question: What is it like now? and why?
I think that should deal with this issue.
