Logicor and Azuqueca de Henares Municipality improve Sustainability at the Bird Sanctuary

October 08, 2024 |

8 October 2024 – Logicor, a leading owner, manager, and developer of logistics real estate in Europe, and the City Council of Azuqueca de Henares have joined forces on a lake restoration project at the Azuqueca de Henares Municipal Bird Sanctuary.

Logicor sponsors the installation of several floating islands, which will contribute to improve the water quality of the lakes at the Sanctuary and as such, will help create the optimal environment for the species that make up the Reserve.

The islands have aquatic plants on a floating structure, with roots growing in the water to provide them with the nutrients they need to grow. These islands will help purify the water and lower its temperature by blocking UV rays, as well as provide shelter for nesting and protection from predators for the reserve's birds.

The islands have been placed in the first two largest of the four lakes comprising the Sanctuary.

The well-being of the reserve’s ecosystem is essential for the stay of the various animal species that stop, even if only briefly, in our area during migration. That’s the reason why the collaboration with Logicor is very valuable.
We are very proud of this natural area located so close to the city, which was established on an ancient natural purifier, and is now a precious space. It is also dedicated to education of schools and universities.

Mr Miguel Oscar Aparicio

Mayor at Azuqueca de Henares

The Azuqueca de Henares bird sanctuary is truly precious and the passion with which it is managed is unique. We are happy to enhance this natural area, which supports the local community where our logistics assets are located. This project is a great example of how Logicor operates demonstrating our dedication to sustainability, protecting the environment and supporting the wellbeing of local communities.
