  • Cork trees (Quercus suber) and Wild Olive (Olea ueropaea var. sylvestris) with a rich abundance of natural underbush made up of Mastic (Pistacia lentiscus, Fillirea (Phyllirea angustifolia), strawberry tree (Arbutus uneda), Myrtle (Myrtus communis) and Bracken Fern (Pteridium aquilinum)<br />
These areas are some of the best examples of natural vegetation which have almost disappeared from the area.<br />
Doñana National & Natural Park. Huelva Province, Andalusia. SPAIN<br />
1969 - Set up as a National Park<br />
1981 - Biosphere Reserve<br />
1982 - Wetland of International Importance, Ramsar<br />
1985 - Special Protection Area for Birds<br />
1994 - World Heritage Site, UNESCO.<br />
The marshlands in particular are a very important area for the migration, breeding and wintering of European and African birds. It is also an area of old cultures, traditions and human uses - most of which are still in existance.

  • High up on a mountain, within huge remote olive orchards the German wildlife photographer Solvin Zankl found the best view over the Dalyan Delta, where the river artfully creates patterns of water and reed before reaching the beachfront to the open Mediterranean Sea. In the salt water and in the brackish water one can find loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) and Nile soft-shelled turtles (Trionyx triunguis), respectively, and both species nest in the sand of the long beach.
