SPANISH BIRD CONCERN

The Spanish government has cancelled its project to dredge the Doñana Guadalquivir River, but action is still needed by Spain to ensure Doñana is not at risk of becoming the first EU natural World Heritage site placed on UNESCO’S List of World Heritage in Danger. Thousands of origami birds sent by activists around the world were displayed outside the country’s parliament in Madrid. The Doñana’s fate will be discussed in July.
