Ecological recovery of Tablas de Daimiel wetland

Overview

The Tablas de Daimiel wetland in Ciudad Real, Spain, experienced a significant ecological revival following heavy rains in February. The overflow of the Guadiana and Gigüela rivers refilled the UNESCO-designated biosphere reserve, transforming the arid landscape into a network of lakes and flooded pathways. This restoration prompted the installation of wooden walkways to accommodate increased tourism.

Following this environmental recovery, the national park reported record-breaking waterfowl reproduction. Census data indicated historical highs for several species, including the red-crested pochard, which reached its best levels since 1980. Other species, such as the Marbled duck and the threatened Muscovy duck, also showed notable increases in population and breeding pairs.
