RABEN WILL SAVE STORKS IN CECHIA

The fight was fierce with supporters of both species of winged creatures competing against each other until the last moment. The winner was the project to help storks in the Czech Republic and it received over 283 thousand votes, which accounts for over  43% of all the votes cast in the ballot. One might venture to say that it won by a hair (or perhaps a feather) over the bat conservation project in Germany as it won by less than a thousand votes. During the two months of the contest, almost 655 thousand votes were cast by nature lovers from all over the world, from Poland to Japan.

It is hard to imagine our lives without logistics but we cannot ignore the impact it undoubtedly has on the environment. Raben Group is aware of this fact and, guided by social responsibility, we have been trying to minimize this impact for a long time. One of the ways to do that is to support projects focused on environmental protection - says Jakub Trnka, Managing Director of Raben Logistics Czech. - I am very pleased that it was the Czech project that won the voting. I am proud that we are going to be the general partner of this project and once again we can help to achieve a noble goal - he adds.

The winning initiative will create an area with wetlands and ponds with the total area of 40,000 m2 in Dvůr Králové nad Labem, which will help to increase the population of these birds from a few dozen to several hundred annually and increase the number of nests and resting places along migration routes.
