The agriculture of red fruits and its effects on Doñana have been an electoral weapon in the last municipal elections in Andalusia. The extreme drought suffered by the Guadalquivir basin, illegal wells and tourism have caused the level of the aquifer of the national park to fall to its lowest levels.
This has caused biodiversity to decline dramatically, despite which the Andalusian right-wing bill plans to increase the irrigated area for strawberries by about 1,900 hectares, according to the environmental organization WWF.
