Wetlands are habitats of high ecological interest, but they also represent a valuable opportunity for socio-economic development. However, different pressures on these ecosystems result in impacts of varying magnitude that alter their ecological status, even leading to their total destruction and disappearance in some cases.

Ecological restoration emerges as a tool to recover the values and ecosystem services of these territories. A basic premise for the establishment of a wetland restoration project is the elimination of the causes of degradation rather than their effects. To this end, it is not only necessary to generate a landscape-wide approach that goes hand in hand with planning with the natural and social elements of the environment, but also an analysis of the barriers to be faced, seeking the generation of innovative and multifactorial solutions where the problems, at all levels, presented by these environments can be solved.
