Satellite images indicate that the Doñana Marshland will disappear within 60 years
The Doñana National Park, considered one of Europe's most valuable wetlands, is expected to lose its marshland in 61 years, according to calculations from a major water-resource monitoring study carried out by the University of Seville.

A morsel of genuine history is a thing so rare as to be always valuable.
