The Biodiversity Foundation celebrates World Volunteer Day, on December 5, with the realization of different conservation and environmental awareness activities in wetlands and tree planting.

The wetland volunteering programme is carried out within the framework of the “Get wet for wetlands” project, with which the Biodiversity Foundation, through the Spanish Wetlands Centre (CEHUM), and in collaboration with different entities, promotes awareness-raising actions to promote the involvement of society in the conservation and restoration of wetlands throughout the Spanish territory. The activities will take place in the Cachón de Juzbado wetland (Salamanca), the Isla Cristina and Ayamonte marshes (Huelva), the Pedro Muñoz lagoons (Ciudad Real), the Marjal dels Moros (Sagunto, Valencia) and the Baena lagoons (Córdoba).

Throughout 2011, the Biodiversity Foundation is carrying out an environmental awareness campaign through volunteering actions in wetlands during key dates such as December 5, World Volunteer Day, a day for which it has had the support of the Tormes Foundation, in Salamanca; the Foundation Center for New Water Technologies, in Huelva; the La Mancha Húmeda Naturalist Association, in Ciudad Real; the organization Inspiring people to change their world-Aktúa, in Valencia, and the Groden Ecologist Association, in Cordoba.
