King and Queen attend Doñana 50th anniversary event

 

King and Queen attend Doñana 50th anniversary event

King and Queen attend Doñana 50th anniversary event
KING Felipe and Queen Letizia spent Valentine's Day at the stunningly-beautiful Doñana National Park to attend an event to finish off its 50th anniversary year.

The monarchs presided over the science conference at the huge coastal wetland which sits across the border of the provinces of Huelva and Cádiz, Andalucía, accompanied by a team of experts in local fauna and flora, together with the regional president Juan Manuel Moreno, and Spain's environment minister and one of four deputy presidents, Teresa Ribera.

The Doñana was declared a National Park in 1969 thanks to campaigning by two 20-something bird-watchers and animal-lovers whose efforts set up the Spanish Ornithology Society, SEO-Birdlife.

It then became a UNESCO natural heritage site in 1994 and is now officially one of the 25 best-preserved nature areas worldwide, according to the International Union for Nature Conservation.

Former national president Mariano Rajoy (PP) has spent most of his holidays in the Doñana for many years along with his wife Elvira.
