Donana National Park is a natural reserve in Andalusia, southern Spain, spanning the provinces of Huelva, Cadiz and Seville, established in 1969 and covering 543 square kilometres at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River. The park protects one of Europe's most important wetland systems, a critical stopover and wintering site for hundreds of thousands of migratory waterfowl travelling between Europe and Africa, alongside a resident population of the critically endangered Iberian lynx. It is jointly managed by Spain's National Parks Autonomous Agency and the Regional Government of Andalusia, and it holds a triple international designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994, a Ramsar Wetland since 1982, and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
