Seo BirdLife avisa que Doñana se enfrenta a “un nuevo desastre ecológico” después de 25 años del vertido de Aznalcóllar
“Doñana está en una situación crítica, inmersa en una situación de pérdida de biodiversidad sin precedentes”, denuncia la ONG.
While the recent agreement reflects a recognition of the urgent need to protect Doñana from climate change and illegal irrigation, it also demands scrutiny and accountability. The potential for corruption to compromise the intended conservation efforts must be acknowledged and guarded against, ensuring that every euro is directed towards genuine and lasting solutions.
The Doñana National Park in Spain recently became the first ecological reserve ever to be removed from the ‘Green List’ of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
This is the first time that a protected area has been removed from the sustainability designation among the 77 protected areas in 60 countries. The removal from the Green List is due to poor management by the Junta de Andalucía, which is responsible for combating the decline of biodiversity in the park. The decline is mainly caused by intensive agriculture, tourism, and extreme drought.
