Palos (Strawberries) : Ecological Problems

Introduction:

I also got in contact with the WWF, the organization that had just alerted public opinion about the ecological situation confronting the Donana National Park. Part of the World Heritage sites designated by Unesco, it is in danger from the cultivation of 95% of Spain’s strawberry crop on a surface of 5,000 hectares. With "massive use of chemical products for the preparation of the soil, grown on sand and under plastic, consuming massive amounts of water for irrigation, making completely illegal use of the land..."* I am engaged in a work on this subject.
