The document prepared by the Global Nature Foundation offers a detailed analysis of the state and threats of wetlands in Spain. The publication addresses the following topics:
- 1. National Wetland Inventory: Spain committed itself in 1989 to drawing up a national inventory of wetlands, but to date, only a fraction of them have been catalogued. The current inventory includes information from a variety of official and unofficial sources.
- 2. Current Threats: Spanish wetlands face multiple threats, such as desiccation, pollution from pesticides and fertilizers, and urbanization. Prominent examples include the eutrophication of the Mar Menor and the risks to Doñana.
- 3. Major Disasters: The document mentions historical and recent disasters that have seriously affected wetlands, such as the drying up of Las Tablas de Daimiel.
- 4. Strategic Plan for Wetlands 2030: Recently approved, this plan of the Ministry of Ecological Transition seeks to address delays and deficiencies in the conservation of wetlands, proposing measures for their protection and recovery.
- 5. Interactive Map: An interactive map has been developed that shows more than 5,000 points in Spain with wetland characteristics, providing a useful tool for consultation and research.
The document underlines the importance of better cataloguing and protection of wetlands to preserve these vital ecosystems.
