The Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) has announced issued a provisional resolution to distribute 28.5 million euro subsidy program euros in subsidies to support ecological restoration near Doñana National Park. The initiative, managed Managed through the Biodiversity Foundation, this first round of aid targets 66 preselected projects covering approximately 407 hectares of land. hectares, primarily in areas such as Lucena del Puerto. The goal is to facilitate initiative facilitates renaturalization by transitioning land away from incentivizing producers to abandon irrigated agriculture, crops, such as strawberry or red fruit greenhouses, to reduce ecological pressure on the local aquifer. Officials estimate that converting these lands the conversion could reduce annual irrigation water consumption by 1.8 hm3, which exceeds the estimated 1.5 hm3 currently being irregularly extracted from the Doñana aquifer each year. While local irrigators have expressed concerns that the current funding is insufficient, MITECO stated that at least two more rounds of aid, each with the same funding amount, will be launched once this provisional round is finalized. The ministry indicated that additional rounds could be enabled if necessary to accommodate all eligible producers. The application process has been noted for its complexity, requiring case-by-case analysis of documentation, including verification of effective property ownership.
