ENERGO-PRO provides new homes for dozens of storks

And at the beginning of this spring, ENERGO-PRO Networks teams continued to install nesting platforms that secure stork nests built on the facilities of the electricity distribution network in Northeastern Bulgaria. This is part of the company's campaign to protect the biodiversity and life of the white stork, as well as to prevent power outages in settlements as a result of stork nests being set on fire. As the owner of facilities preferred for nesting by the white stork, ENERGO-PRO takes responsibility for this activity and works in cooperation with a number of organizations such as Green Balkans, the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds, ecologists and experts to municipalities.

Specialists from the Distribution Service Center Gorna Oryahovitsa and Gabrovo installed nesting platforms for storks on poles of the electricity distribution network in the cities of Elena, Zlataritsa, Polski Trambesh and the Sevliev villages of Kormyansko and Burya. Teams of the company from Tutrakan installed platforms in the villages of Antimovo and Kalugerene. Such facilities were also installed in the village of Bistra, and specialists from Ruse installed platforms in the village of Lovsko and in Marten, after receiving a signal from a resident of the city about an endangered stork nest. Specialists of the company from Shumen installed such safety facilities in the village of Blaskovo. At the request of the mayor, a platform for a stork nest was also installed in the Varna village of Kalimantsi.

ENERGO-PRO thanks for the responsible attitude of people giving signals about nests, threatening both the life of migratory birds and the security of the electricity distribution network. In order not to disturb the nesting period, the installation of these facilities is carried out before the spring and after the autumn migration of birds. For this reason, the placement of platforms and the securing of stork nests will continue after the birds fly away in the fall.
