plan b: die Vogelretter

Hilfe für bedrohte Arten

There are fewer and fewer birds in Germany's fields. The populations of lapwings and partridges alone have declined by more than 90 percent in the past 40 years. Thousands of birds are also dying in cities. Modern glass fronts, among other things, are to blame. And more and more wind turbines are becoming a danger to birds of prey. Heinrich Belting and Johannes Melter want to know exactly why there are fewer and fewer meadow birds in Germany.
