But the most serious threat to the flamingo is the destruction of its habitat.

It is for this reason that in recent years has been developed an international strategy for its conservation. It is based on their knowledge: every year hundreds of young people born flamingos in the Camargue and Fuente de Pedra are marked with colored plastic rings.

On each ring are engraved the letters and numbers legible from a distance. Around the Mediterranean basin so you can identify the marked birds. On the basis of these studies it was discovered for example that there are "broken" preferential and in recent years have increased exchanges between the people of Western and Eastern Mediterranean.
