Suggested places to visit from the booklet I've written several times about the Trebujena area (see birdingcadizprovince.weebly.com/cadiz-birding-blog-page/spring-2019-update-5-three-cheers-for-trebujena) but make no apology for returning to the topic once again. My reason for doing so is that the WWF and Coca-Cola - who sponsored the restoration of the marshes - have put together an interesting website called "Guadalquivir Challenge" about the project (see Guadalquivir Challenge: protection of the water of the estuary | Coca-Cola ES (cocacolaespana.es)) with a video (#MisiónPosible: Desafío Guadalquivir logra su principal objetivo - YouTube) and a downloadable booklet in Spanish and English (guia_biodiversidad_ingles_1.pdf (panda.org)).
Even those who, like me, have a woefully inadequate command of Spanish will find the video of interest; if a picture is worth a thousand words then a video must surely be worth still more!

 Species Account from the booklet |  Map of reserve It's both easy and tempting to be cynical about the motives of Coca-cola in sponsoring this initiative and regard it as no more than corporate 'greenwashing' - and maybe it is - but the fact remains that their interest has help create a much needed reserve and informational materials that promote interest in the threatened marismas of the area. |
Of course, it's not nearly enough and much, much more needs to be done to protect this important area but it is at least a start.
