Reintroduction projects throughout Europe c contributed to the current breeding success of the white stork. For five years I followed the species, that traditionally symbolises new life, during which I explored the reason why this species has recovered so well during recent years. It turned out that the storks had found a perfect refuelling station on their annual migration-route from Europe to the African continent; the open landfills on the Iberian peninsula. With the introduction of new EU waste management legislations in 2016, many of these open landfills are being closed or converted into recycling centers.The future of the white stork, who nowadays largely depend on the food supplied through this hostile environment, remains unknown. Many scientists think there might be a decline in numbers as landfills have contributed the stork population to go beyond the carrying capacity of the local ecosystems.
