Wetland management and restoration to halt the decline of aquatic warbler populations (LIFE AWOM)
LIFE
- The project focuses on the conservation of the aquatic warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) in its stopping and wintering areas along its migratory route.
- It seeks to develop a network of climate-resilient sites and develop habitat management and restoration techniques in degraded wetlands within the Natura 2000 network, also benefiting other marsh and aquatic birds in the wetlands.

- To create a database of all records of aquatic warbler and wetlands with the presence of the species in Spain.
- Improve aquatic warbler populations by restoring wetlands to improve their ecological functionality.
- Inform the general public about the importance of restoring wetland habitats to improve aquatic warbler populations, as well as improve habitats of community interest and threatened flora and fauna populations.
- Generate information for key indicators of the status of aquatic warbler populations and other threatened bird species.
- Diagnosis of wetlands and presence of aquatic warbler.
- Implementation of ecological restoration measures.
- Development of a communication and awareness strategy.
