Recent heavy rainfall in the spring of 2025 has dramatically revitalised Doñana National and Natural Park in Spain, leading to a significant resurgence of its long-parched wetlands. This ecological recovery has submerged vast areas, fostering biodiversity and raising hopes for the park's reinstatement on the IUCN Green List. While this revival presents a spectacular scene unseen for over a decade and has boosted groundwater levels, conservation groups caution that fundamental issues like over-extraction still threaten the park's long-term health. They emphasise that the rainfall offers a chance to implement sustainable management strategies rather than being a definitive solution. (Source: Wildsideholidays)
