Investigate the climate, geology, historical and cultural significance, and ecology of Donana National Park, using the references provided. Students are divided into four groups to conduct 3-4 days of research into these subjects. They are responsible for developing notes, producing summary handout sheets for other class members, and brief oral presentations on their assigned topic. As part of this investigation, I show slides of Donana National Park, taken in summer 1998.
Slides of La Donana: Rio Guadalquivir (in Sevilla); ecotourism buses; fixed dunes; mobile dunes and umbrella pine forests; low strips between dunes (las corrales); marshes of the Guadalquivir River (las marismas); dried mud flats; Spanish Imperial Eagle; wild boars; huts of indigenous farmers; scenes of charcoal-making; ecotourists at mouth of Rio Guadalquivir.
