Abstract
In June 2023, Nature Water published a Correspondence titled “How Europe’s most iconic wetland could be finished off by a strawberry farming bill”1. This publication appeared during a time of significant socio-political controversy regarding Doñana, sparked by a proposal from the Andalusian regional parliament to amend land-use regulations for land outside the park. This political tension was further heightened by the simultaneous municipal and national elections held in 2023.
Doñana Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in southern Spain, is one of Europe’s most crucial wetlands and an important habitat for numerous species. The Doñana Natural Space (DNS) spans 108,087 hectares, encompassing both the ‘National’ and the ‘Natural’ Park. Its biodiversity relies heavily on water and faces significant challenges from both natural and human factors. Identifying degradation causes, exploring alternative actions, designing effective measures, and their implementation with continuous evaluation are all crucial.
