No danger for "family stork: Wilf0life-expects are fore telling, when the year 2000 in coming, there will be become extinct the storks. By drained meadows and bogs, rills straightened, filled up ponds f.e., the offer of food for these animals as limited much more from year to year. Furthermore also plant protective agents and the reduction of insects by chemicals are the reason, that a lot od stork eggs are sterile. Here an example when in Schleswig-Holstein, one of the countries if the Federal Republic of Germany, in 1940 2175 couples of storks were registered, this number was reduced till now to 400. Because storks are vary often taking their stay on the top of an electrical mast, now the electricity-supply company of Schleswig-Holstein has an excellent idea: All these "occupied" poles were fitted out with a nest platform. mounted in an adiquat distance to the conductor. By this as well dangers for the storks are impeded vastly as also interruptions of the current by short circuit.
