The Hungarian Ornithological and Nature Conservation Association (MME) revealed that the German environmental association NABU estimates the global white stork population to be around 330 thousand pairs in NABU's latest preliminary results of an international stork population survey conducted every ten years. This figure is over double of the 135 thousand pairs counted in 1984, and shows a 20 percent increase compared to the 265 to 280 thousand pairs reported a decade ago. EPA/Zsolt Czegledi HUNGARY OUT
