Flamingoes In Spain Lose Nesting Grounds To Drought

FUENTE DE PIEDRA, SPAIN - APRIL 28: Cracked soil of the stream next to the Fuente de Piedra Lagoon, dry and covered with salt due to the drought on April 28, 2023 in Fuente de Piedra, Spain. Due to the lack of rainfall and the high temperatures caused by the unusual heat wave in April, the Fuente de Piedra Lagoon, the most important wetland in the province of Malaga, has dried up. That is why this year the flamingos have not nested in this area, and where there should be approximately 8,000 flamingos, only 100 remain in a puddle of water emanating from a treatment plant (Photo by Carlos Gil/Getty Images)
