Trees for birds
People have been accustomed to creating comfort around them, based on their own needs, however, quite often needs of a person contrary to the needs of other organisms. In particular, birds suffer a great deal from this.
Inadvertent attitudes towards nature, expansion of agro-industrial areas and active construction and, consequently, deforestation, result in the destruction of breeding and feeding places of birds. Sometimes it causes the death of birds, and in the long run can lead to the extinction of entire species.
By planting enough trees that are rich in seeds and fruits, we will be able to provide birds with natural food and breeding grounds.
This is precisely the mission of the project “Trees for Birds” – landscaping of cities, settlements, suburbs, restoration of forest strips in the fields with long-term positive effect for birds!
