Wildlife of Bahrain

The wildlife of Bahrain is the flora and fauna of the archipelago of Bahrain, and is more varied than might be expected of this small group of islands in the Persian Gulf. Apart from a strip of the north and west of the main island, where crops are irrigated, the land is arid. With a very hot dry summer, a mild winter, and brackish groundwater, the plants need adaptations in order to survive. Nevertheless, 196 species of higher plant have been recorded here, as well as about seventeen species of terrestrial mammals, many birds and reptiles, and a large number of migratory birds visit the islands in autumn and spring.
==Geography==

Bahrain is a group of islands on the western side of the Persian Gulf, approximately half way between Saudi Arabia, to the west and Qatar, to the east. Bahrain Island is the largest island and is long by wide. It consists of a low plain with a central hill, the Mountain of Smoke, the highest point of which is above sea level. There are five further small islands and many islets. To the north lies the Persian Gulf, and to the south and west lies the Gulf of Bahrain, which has two connections to the Persian Gulf, one either side of Bahrain. Also part of Bahrain are the Hawar Islands, which lie close to the coast of Qatar and are about southeast of the main islands. These were designated in 1997 as a Ramsar site, a wetland habitat of international importance for wildlife.
The climate is very hot in summer and rather cooler in winter, with an average temperature of in August and in January. Precipitation averages and falls in small amounts in winter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bahrain Climate )
The terrain is predominantly arid and agriculture is only possible on eight percent of the land area. Water is extracted from the Dammam Aquifer but this is becoming increasingly brackish and desalination plants are increasingly being used to provide fresh water. Environmental problems in Bahrain include droughts, dust storms, the degradation of arable land, the desertification of the coastline and rising sea levels associated with global warming.
