As white storks use rising thermals, they are not able to fly long distances on water surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>Not all white storks spend the winter in the south. Some storks even spend the winter in Germany. Especially those storks that were injured as fledglings, and thus, had to be raised by humans.

In the past the white stork took advantage of extensively farmed green areas \u2013 which meant new food grounds for the bird \u2013 as it is a synanthrope. Thus, white storks could actually benefit from the agricultural use of landscapes by humans. However, the intensification of agriculture and the cultivation of monocultures on a large scale led to a significant loss of their food resources.<\/p>\n<p>Another threat are dumping grounds. Often white storks feed on dumping grounds where they find plastic waste or elastic bands which they mistake for worms. If white storks feed on such items, they very probably suffer a painful death. White storks also find many poisonous food on dumping grounds. Therefore, although a dumping ground often looks as a feeding paradise for a white stork, it might have severe consequences for an individual.<\/p>\n<p>White storks also might feed on many poisonous locusts during the locust infestation in Africa. As many African countries massively use pesticides during a locust infestation in order to protect their agricultural land, some white storks might feed on a large amount of poisoned locusts.<\/p>\n<p>Other threats for the white stork are collisions with vehicles, drought periods, hunting in some African countries or water towers especially in France and Spain.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, one of the most common cause of death for the white stork are electricity pylons. Especially young white storks are not able to perceive electricity pylons as threats. They often use electricity pylons as a roosting or nesting place. The risk to be electrocuted is especially high for these young birds. Even white storks in flight might oversee the thin electrical cords and collide with them.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see white storks are exposed to many different threats. As the white stork is a synanthrope, most threats are linked to humans.<\/p>\n<p>But what has to be done in order to minimize all these threats?<\/p>\n<p>As death by electrocution is the most common threat for the white stork, electricity pylons have to be defused. Around the white stork colony in Salem electricity pylons where isolated or provided with specific deflectors.<\/p>\n<p>Another conservation effort in Salem is the sanctuary itself where abandoned stork fledglings are raised by other breeding pairs. A breeding pair does not discriminate between their biological offspring and other stork fledglings. Furthermore, the staff of the stork sanctuary in Salem also cares for white storks with injuries or diseases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-12783-26\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-12783-26\" ><div id=\"pgc-12783-26-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-12783-26-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"27\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-12783\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-9.jpg\" width=\"1336\" height=\"891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-9.jpg 1336w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-9-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-9-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-9-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-9-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-9-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-9-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-9-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-9-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1336px) 100vw, 1336px\" title=\"White storks on a roof\" alt=\"White storks on a roof\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-12783-27\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-12783-27\" ><div id=\"pgc-12783-27-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-12783-27-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"28\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>In order to get people interested in the white stork and in general in conservation, the stork sanctuary is involved in several outreach activities.

Therefore, another conservation effort of the stork sanctuary is to put radio collars on white storks and ring the birds. This way, we learn more about their migration routes or where a bird was lost on its migration route. But also, where do they feed? Or where do they rest? An individual white stork with a radio collar can reveal important behavior patterns, and thus, contribute to the research and conservation of this migratory bird.<\/p>\n<p>Every white stork in Salem is ringed at the age of about four to six weeks and registered in an international data base. This way we receive more information about the population development of white storks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-12783-30\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-12783-30\" ><div id=\"pgc-12783-30-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-12783-30-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"31\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-12783\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-11.jpg\" width=\"891\" height=\"1336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-11.jpg 891w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-11-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-11-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-11-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 891px) 100vw, 891px\" title=\"White stork in its nest\" alt=\"White stork in its nest\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-12783-30-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-12783-30-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"32\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-12783\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-12.jpg\" width=\"1336\" height=\"891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-12.jpg 1336w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-12-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-12-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-12-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-12-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-12-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/white-stork-12-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1336px) 100vw, 1336px\" title=\"Breeding pair in the nest\" alt=\"Breeding pair in the nest\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-12783-31\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-12783-31\" ><div id=\"pgc-12783-31-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-12783-31-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"33\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>These are some of the conservation efforts the stork sanctuary is involved.
