The wetlands of Doñana are a famous and iconic World Heritage Site near Seville. In 2016, HEINEKEN Spain launched a project with Commonland to restore three degraded lagoons by improving soil structure and water filtration and re-planting endemic trees and other species in areas surrounding three lagoons. Our aim was to compensate and return 420,000m3 of water each year to Doñana.

Project Results

In June 2017, work was successfully completed on the three lagoons - San Lázaro, Pardillas and Lince We moved over 6000 m3 of soil, transplanted over 70 cork and oak trees, and planted over 1,500 new trees - mainly ash, back poplar and willow.

Research by the University of Granada shows that the project balanced more than 1 million m3 of water per year, doubling the initial target.
