Over 300 researchers demand the ending of eel exploitation
The species is critically endangered, but is still fished and consumed. Scientific advice to European Agriculture and Fisheries Council, meeting December 10th-11th, is a zero-catch policy
Predation by owls affects the survival of the colony of greater noctule bats in Doñana
A research team of the Doñana Biological Station – CSIC has found that greater noctule bats, one of the most threatened bat species in Europe, do not change their shelter when facing predation risk.

Santa Olalla, the largest lagoon in Doñana, dries up for the second year in a row
Since the Doñana Biological Station has kept records, the lagoon has never dried up two consecutive summers. Severe drought and overexploitation of the aquifer are the causes of the serious situation of the Doñana dune lagoon system
World heritage wetland site under threat from new strawberry farming bill
Scientists from the University of Leeds and the Spanish National Research Council say urgent protection is needed for the fragile Doñana wetlands in Andalusia as the result of the bill which sanctions illegal strawberry production in its immediate vicinity. The bill, which was approved by the regional government without any parliamentary debate, allows intensive irrigated strawberry farming on land originally devoted to forestry or rain-fed agriculture. 80% of the strawberries grown in the...
