[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Installing nest boxes, artificial nests, and platforms is a well-established conservation practice supported by both science and experience. Across Europe and in Slovakia, such interventions have helped secure breeding sites for rare bird species that otherwise lack suitable natural options due to habitat loss or degradation. Several target species in the LIFE 4 STEPPE BIRDS project benefit from this approach.<\/span>\r\n

Red-footed Falcon (<\/b>Falco vespertinus<\/i><\/b>)<\/b><\/h4>\r\nThis migratory falcon does not build its own nests but depends on abandoned corvid nests. As rookeries decline, specially designed half-open nest boxes have successfully compensated for their loss. Thanks to these efforts, Slovakia now hosts 20\u201325 breeding pairs annually.<\/span>\r\n<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”39277″ img_size=”full” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]\r\n

European Roller (<\/b>Coracias garrulus<\/i><\/b>)<\/b><\/h4>\r\nHundreds of nest boxes have enabled the return of this charismatic species to Slovakia. Without artificial nesting sites, the Roller would have nowhere to breed.<\/span>\r\n<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]\r\n

Scops Owl (<\/b>Otus scops<\/i><\/b>)<\/b><\/h4>\r\nThis rare migratory owl favors southern regions, breeding in orchards, parks, and pastures. It often uses nest boxes in landscapes where natural tree cavities are scarce.<\/span>\r\n<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
