Summary

Description
English: These images, acquired by Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites from June 2020 to June 2023, show the progressive draining of the Fuente de Piedra wetlands. Once a flourishing nesting site for flamingos, the lagoon now hosts only a few dozen adult birds, as many have been compelled to seek new nesting grounds due to the ongoing drought. According to the Andalusia Agriculture office, over 200,000 flamingo chicks have hatched in the lagoon since 1986. This recent decline in numbers of nesting flamingos has various negative consequences, including an adverse impact on nature tourism in the region. The use of Copernicus open data enables scientists to monitor alterations in ecosystems and biodiversity, helping us to better understand and mitigate the effects of climate change.
