“Tierschutz Euskirchen” says that the number of those birds that live in fields has been declining in Germany for the past 30 years now. Reason is that firstly peasants use unnecessarily strong pesticides these days that kill animals much bigger than mice, rats or insects and secondly that modern fields are very monoculture and neatly arranged. Decades ago birds and other animals had lots of grass, bushes and other plants to hide and lay their eggs. Nowdays most fields contain only one specimen of plant which peasants plant in a way which may be optimal and lucrative for their necessities, but very unpractical for animals that need to hide themselves, their eggs and their chicks well.

On this website they even tell you how YOU can get involved.
