In Israel, always at the forefront of agriculture, in the '80 there was an overpopulation of owls and barn owl, in parallel with an ever increasing need to fight rodents, which seriously damaging the crops.
The massive use of pesticides for rodent control, was threatening the ecosystem and the great availability of these raptors was providential. It soon spread the practice of disseminate shelters and artificial nests in the cultivated fields to attract these animals, in order to favour their predatory activity.
Today it's a consolidated practice also in Egypt, Cyprus, Greece, Tunisia and Morocco, but the list is destined to lengthen, because these aides are not only ecological but also meticulous: just think that a barn owl is able to hunt from 2000 to 6000 small mammals every year.
