In June, the Urdaibai Red Alert campaign secured 77 signatures across three joint letters from organisations in 35 countries. Following this, the Secretariat of the Spanish Committee of the MaB Programme confirmed it has initiated the processing of incident 05/2025 under its established procedure. The campaign also achieved strong visibility, with 12,200 views across all social media channels, reflecting robust regional support.

A scientist-endorsed manifesto will be published in September, inviting wider public backing through signatures. If you are a scientist, you are encouraged to sign and join this collective call to safeguard Urdaibai.

Locally, early findings from the Active Listening Process indicate that most residents oppose the construction of a museum in Murueta. While local institutions have yet to take an official stance, it is evident that establishing a museum in this unique site will encounter significant challenges.
