Donana National Park

Donana National Park in Andalusia, inscribed in 1994, is one of Europe's most important wetland ecosystems where the Guadalquivir River meets the Atlantic at a vast delta of marshes, dunes, and scrubland. The park provides critical habitat for the critically endangered Iberian lynx and the Spanish imperial eagle, and serves as a crucial wintering and staging ground for hundreds of thousands of migratory birds crossing between Africa and Europe. Its fragile ecosystem faces constant pressure from agriculture and water extraction.
