The three main objectives of the proyect are: 1) wetland management, 2) study and conservation of aquatic birds and 3) ambiental restoration.

Monitoring surveys and results

Edit project overview to modify the Monitoring survey and results.

The main actions have been: Implantation of amphibian ponds, fenced construction for won, elimination of invasive species, installation of artificial islets. As a result, local vegetation have been increased, new species of birds are nesting in the zone, populations of amphibians and lepidoptera are increasing.

Lessons learnt

Edit project overview to modify the lessons learnt.

The efforts in restoration of local wildlife and vegetation have been effective in this zone and the image of industrial zone is not so remarkable
