Forest fire in Moguer: Environmental Consequences

Doñana is the most important wetland in Europe. The forest fire controlled in extremis at the gates of the National Park is the latest on the list of dangers that threaten its sustainability. The area burned around Doñana acts as an environmental buffer between the species inhabiting the region and the pressure of human activity in the surrounding area. Ecologists are observing the damage caused by the fire with great concern.

Doñana is the most important wetland in Europe. The forest fire controlled in extremis at the gates of the National Park is the latest on the list of dangers that threaten its sustainability. The area burned around Doñana acts as an environmental buffer between the species inhabiting the region and the pressure of human activity in the surrounding area. Ecologists are observing the damage caused by the fire with great concern.

Wetlands are the ecosystems with the greatest biodiversity on the planet. Doñana is the most important protected natural space in Southern Europe, declared a protected heritage site by Unesco. There is great international concern about the damage caused by the latest fire. The fire was contained in extremis at the gates of the National Park. The protected area destroyed by the fire serves as a buffer to maintain a sustainable balance between life in the Park and human activity in the surrounding area.
