Environmental activist Levon Galstyan has sounded the alarm over oil-covered white storks in an Armenian village.

“The contamination of storks continues and the birds are dying because of our attitude towards nature. The government agencies have failed to resolve the issue for 7-8 years now,” he wrote on Facebook on Saturday.

The activist posted a video of the polluted birds from the village of Dashtavan in Ararat Province.

“The locals alerted us that there are scores of storks with contaminated feathers on the verge of extinction,” Galstyan said.
