Thousands of dead cranes litter cherished European birdwatching spot
"Volunteers have recovered nearly 2,000 dead cranes in recent days from a site near Berlin, a location typically cherished by birdwatchers, as a severe bird flu outbreak takes a heavy toll on migrating populations. Linum, a small village situated about an hour from the German capital, is famed for its nesting storks in summer and serves as a crucial resting spot for thousands of cranes during their seasonal migrations between the Baltic, Nordic regions, and southern Europe."
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it. Your support makes all the difference. Since early September, the Friedrich Loeffler Institute, Germany's national animal health authority, has recorded 30 outbreaks at poultry farms."
