A student from Harper Adams is studying reintroducing storks to Britain, where they had been extinct for centuries. She is working on the feasibility of a large-scale reintroduction. The study will examine how well the white stork can adapt to different environments and habitats, alongside public and land managers' views on reintroducing them. The research is part of her PhD at the university and aims to increase biodiversity and impact on human populations.
