Near Langres, technicians are mobilized to install 800 avifaunal beacons on 26 kilometres of high-voltage power lines. This operation, estimated at tens of thousands of euros, aims to preserve the black stork, one of the rarest breeding birds in France, classified in critical danger of extinction. About ten of them nest in the 50,000 hectares of protected wood of the National Forest Park, equivalent to five times the area of Paris. (Environment).
