This is the development factor I wrote about :) Storks in Europe live in symbiosis with individual farmers. As countries switch from millions of small farmers to thousands of massive industrialized farms - stork populations dwindle. This is how it looks like: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stary_Brus#/media/Plik:Stary_Brus_centrum.jpg https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stary_Brus#/media/Plik:Stary_B... Almost every house has its stork nest, people provide the scaffolding for the nest (usually on the house roof or on powerline pylons). Storks eat small rodents, insects and other pests (for example whenever farmers are plowing storks go behind the tractor and eat larva that are uncovered).
