LANG::Help the birds
DO YOU THINK THAT SPRING ALIVE! SPECIES ARE THREATENED?
Although most of the species you can see above are common birds in Europe, and their populations are numerous and widespread, there are some threats to the Spring Messengers. For example, the population of Storks suffered a big decline in second half of the twentieth century. This was mainly because of climatic changes, draining of marshlands and use of agricultural pesticides.
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT ONE DAY ALL THESE BIRDS WILL DISAPPEAR FROM EUROPE?
If people do not take proper care of them, and if we do not take care of the places where they live, these very popular and interesting birds may disappear from our towns and countryside. Intensive use of farmland, draining of wetlands, and climate change may all be very dangerous for European common birds. Conserving and helping wildlife is important today if we want to be able to still watch its wonders tomorrow.
WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP THESE BIRDS?
Anyone can help birds, regardless of age, by supporting national conservation actions, building a nestbox or feeding birds. Please check the information on how to help individual species, by clicking the pictures below.
