White stork conservation: first use of nest platforms on power poles in Iran.

This article discusses the conservation efforts for the white stork in central Iran, specifically in the Bishe-Dalan Wetland. The white stork is at risk due to collisions with power lines and electrocution. In response to reports of stork electrocutions, the Birds and Power Lines Committee recommended actions to prevent electrocutions and save nests. The mitigation project involved reconfiguring power lines to be bird-friendly, installing nest platforms on power poles, and raising public awareness through workshops. The project has been successful so far, with no electrocutions and all nest platforms being used by breeding pairs. [Extracted from the article]
