Conflicts exist between tourism and nature conservation, traditional hunting and agriculture. For example, the Coto Donaña National Park in southwest Spain is an important breeding site for many of Europe's birds, and home to endangered species such as the imperial eagle, Aquila heliaca, and Spanish lynx, Lynx pardina, but is now threatened by water extraction for tourism and local agriculture (WWF-UK, personal communication, 1993). In Triglav National Park, Slovenia, 2 million tourists outnumber residents during the summer by almost 1000 to 1 (see Table 25.2).
