More info: The stork project started in 1989 and is run by the Nature Conservation Society in Skane together with the Skane Ornithological Association.

In 1954 the last breeding attempt by the White Stork in Sweden failed and the species was declared extinct from the Swedish fauna. Since 1989 an ongoing reintroduction programme for the White Stork has been established in Scania, southern Sweden.

The aim of the reintroduction programme is to re-establish a naturally breeding population of White Storks. The approach is based on captive breeding and release of established pairs that settle and breed in the vicinity to the release sites.
