3rdTQ, ARTFORD COURANT: Monday. July 10, 1972 New Look Menacing Spain's Wild COTE DE DONANA, Spain (AP) The courting cry of the spotted Spanish lynx, an animal almost extinct, is being challenged by the grumble of cement mixers, the sounding of hammers and the whine of machines. Coto de Donana, the biggest bird refuge in Europe and haven for wild boar, mongoose, genet, deer and the Spanish imperial eagle, is in danger of being seriously damaged, perhaps destroyed, experts say. many seem ready to do anything to turn away the human steamroller now closing in on the virtually untouched marshlands on Spain's sunny tourist coast. High rise apartments are going up in the birds' flyways to Africa.

An urbanization project of 30 hotels, 5,000 chalets and 70,000 residents threatens to suck water from the marshlands. 'Of course, I think it will be the birds that disappear," said Russell Train, head of President Nikon's Council on Environmental Quality, after a visit to the Coto. The Coto, he said, "without doubt the most important in the world as nature reserve." Smart Bomb Running for Cover displayed at Columbus, Ohio, Friday.
