On 29 and 30 June 2016, the LIFE+ Project “Integrated management of three constructed wetlands” is celebrating its final conference in the Botanical Gardens of Valencia (Spain). For three years the Polytechnic University of Valencia, together with Fundación Global Nature, SEO/Birdlife and Acció Ecologista – Agro have been working on the improvement of the water quality of the lake of Albufera (Valencia, Spain) and the diversity of habitats and species in line with the three EU Directives on Water, Birds and Habitat.
