Summary

edit
Description
English: Spain is experiencing a severe drought. The winter precipitation levels recorded in 2021-2022 are 35% below the historical average, causing significant problems for the Spanish watershed environments and their biodiversity. These images, acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 12 March 2021 (left) and 2 March 2022 (right), show the effects of the ongoing drought in the Doñana National Park in Andalucía, southern Spain. The image on the left clearly shows the local vegetation in full bloom a year ago. The image on the right, on the other hand, shows the same area a year later, with a visible lack of water and of vegetation in the marshes, as a consequence of the insufficient winter rainfall. The Doñana National Park is home to a rich biodiversity, which has been strongly affected by the ongoing drought. In fact, the results of winter sampling carried out by the Biological Station of Doñana support the estimate of a twentyfold reduction in the number of amphibians in a year, as a consequence of the lack of water in the marshes.
