The lesson we learn from watching storks in their Romania nest

This summer I drank my coffee every morning while watching white storks in their nests. I wasn’t the only one. And everyone was hooked.

I was in Bucharest, and the white storks were in their nest in a village in Western Romania. We were all watching them via live streaming on the internet. I came across the page by chance, on social media. In August, when it was clear that the storks would soon leave the nest to migrate to Africa, people watching shared emotional comments: the birds will be missed... “People have forgotten that we are not alone in the world and we share this habitat with a bunch of other neighbours,” says Cristian Ilea, the man who initiated this WildLifeRomania.com project.
