Spain announces deal to help protect prized Donana wetland
Spanish authorities have signed an agreement to invest 1.4 billion euro (£1.2 billion) in areas around the treasured national park of Donana in a bid to stop the park from drying up.
Ecological transition minister Teresa Ribera said the plan was aimed at encouraging farmers to stop cultivating crops that rely heavily on water from underground aquifers that have been overexploited in recent years, damaging one of Europe’s largest wetlands.
