15-Year Study Links Extreme Weather Events to White Stork Survival Rates in Bulgaria

A 15-year study published in the *Biodiversity Data Journal* identifies a correlation between extreme weather events and the survival rates of White Storks (*Ciconia ciconia*) in Bulgaria. The research tracks how climatic shifts, including spring frosts and wildfires, affect the rehabilitation and long-term viability of the species within the region.

The investigation documents the specific ways in which unpredictable environmental conditions disrupt the life cycle of the storks. Researchers analyzed data collected over the decade-and-a-half period to observe how these weather patterns influence the birds’ ability to recover from injury and maintain stable populations. By examining the frequency and intensity of these climate-related disasters, the study provides a detailed record of the environmental pressures currently impacting the species’ habitat and survival prospects in Bulgaria.
