Two pieces of news that made me think.
The first was about the stork nests. Storks are very frequent in Transylvania, many villages have big populations of birds and they are looked upon with affection. Their nests are very often on the electricity poles and it's common to drive though villages and see nests one almost every pole. This spring, many of the nests were torn down by the workers at the electricity company, and the villagers protested. But they calmed down as they were told that the nests, that were endangering the wires, would be replaced at once with man-made nests, made in such a way not to have any bad effect. The storks can come back to their homes. Hopefully, they accept the new dwellings. We'll know very soon.

Second one is about a concert in an unusual place: a salt mine. We have a few big salt mines, not used any more and turned into places for tourists and for asthma treatment. One of them, near Timisoara, was transformed for a night, for a baroque music concert. Apparently, the idea was great, because the acoustics and the scenery were very good, as the place was turned into a very nice, confortable and sparkling concert hall.

My question is: should nature be transformed and adapted like this, in order to make our common existence easier, or just left alone?
