THE sixth annual Environmental Treasure Hunt will take place in Bahrain later this year. It aims to raise awareness about environmental issues such as water shortages, pollution, land reclamation and its effect on marine life, beach pollution and desertification. The event, on Friday November 6, will be held under the patronage of Public Commission for the Protection of Marine Resources, Environment and Wildlife head Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa. Teams will compete to solve clues, leading them along a pre-determined route to a wide spectrum of locations, all the while being monitored by traffic police to ensure they adhere to traffic laws. Bahrain-based events management, public relations and marketing communications company T & M Eventscom announced the date yesterday. Chief executive officer Zahraa Taher said the event hoped to create a cleaner and greener Bahrain. “By changing people’s everyday habits and making them realise one person’s actions can make an impact, we can create a more sustainable clean and green Bahrain,” she said.
