Stork and owl conservation and rehabilitation efforts

Overview

Conservation and rehabilitation efforts for storks and owls have been reported across Europe and Turkey.

In Central Europe, initiatives in Switzerland, Austria, and Germany have focused on population expansion and habitat protection. In Switzerland, white stork populations have grown significantly. In the Salzburg-Bavaria border region, a cross-border project has secured nesting sites for barn owls in farm buildings to mitigate the loss of natural habitats.

In Turkey, wildlife rehabilitation centers have focused on releasing rescued birds. In Antalya, tawny owl chicks were released following a two-month training process. In Hatay, a university center released 21 storks and a rice bird that had been treated for injuries such as fractures, electric shocks, and birdshot wounds. Experts noted that Hatay is a critical transit point for migration between Europe and Africa, where birds face threats from illegal hunting and wind turbines.
