The natural area of Les Madrigueres, in El Vendrell, continues to surprise with its recovery capacity. Members of the environmentalist group Geven, responsible for managing this space, have carried out an operation to remove reeds from one of the recently established lagoons in the inland part of the area, between the road and the train tracks.
The reed, although native to this ecosystem, has a great capacity for expansion. The objective of this action is to prevent it from completely colonizing the lagoon, as maintaining open water areas is fundamental for the settlement of various fauna species.
Thanks to this effort, the presence of birds such as the Eurasian stone-curlew and the common stilt has already been detected, species that had not been seen in the area for some time. These open lagoons are essential for their settlement.
During the intervention, environmentalists also found specimens of amphibians, such as the green frog, which quickly adapts to these wetlands. Geven hopes that the natterjack toad, a species with declining populations due to habitat loss despite being listed as of least concern, will also settle there.
