This phenomenon, recorded in Las Salinas de Cabo de Gata, poses a new challenge for the region's wildlife. The lack of water in this wetland, which is vital for numerous species, has led a significant portion of the flamingo population to seek other habitats.

The situation highlights the vulnerability of these ecosystems to environmental changes and the need to implement measures that ensure the conservation of biodiversity in protected areas such as the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park.
