With Spring season just behind the corner, many migratory bird species flee the African continent and come to Albania to nest.
One of them is the White stork, a species that carries the status “Critically endangered” in Albania, according to the Flora and Fauna Red list.
The non-profit organization Protection and Preservation of Natural Environment in Albania (PPNEA), in cooperation with Transmission System Operator and Gjirokastra’s Regional Administration of Protected Areas installed a platform serving as the pair’s new home, which they have already adjusted to and are ready to lay eggs.
The pair of White storks is already considered an “old resident” and “loyal friend” of Gjirokastra.
According to PPNEA, the construction of these nesting platforms helps to increase the number of nesting sites, which are becoming rarer than ever for this species.
“With the installation of these platforms and the increasing of breeding success, we can hope for the recovery of the population of this species in our country”, wrote the non-profit environmentalist organization on Facebook.
