Biodiversity and Water Quality in L’Albufera de Valencia

L’Albufera of Valencia, a vital wetland for the conservation of nature.

A 2.100 hectare lake, source of biodiversity, with the challenge of recuperating its crystal clear waters.

A 14.000 hectare marsh, habitat of great value, ruled by rice cultivation.

3 artificial wetlands, old rice fields transformed into green filters and natural reserves.

3 landmark NGOs in the Natural Park of L’Albufera, 1 university and 3 public administrations, have partnered up in the LIFE Albufera project, with a threefold objective:

•  3 European directives (WATER, HABITATS AND BIRDS) which can be implemented in all three artificial wetlands of Tancat de la Pipa, Tancat de Milia and Tancat de L’Illa.
