Too little money, too many people, too little water: A reality check for s'Albufera

Answer

Why is s'Albufera in Mallorca under pressure right now?

s'Albufera is facing a mix of problems at the same time: limited funding, too few permanent staff, heavier visitor pressure and not enough water reaching the wetland. When freshwater inflow drops, the habitat slowly changes, and the reed beds become less suitable for the species that depend on them.
