Abstract All European countries seek to conserve all bird species by protecting their habitats and, through this, to work for the world's biological diversity and the sustainability of human use of natural resources. Most endangered species of birds could disappear without the help of humans. One of the possible ways to help birds is to build nesting-boxes. These small houses for birds could determine if birds can survive in a particular place. The student works as a carpenter or designer in a company which produces wooden things. The company was asked to build 1000 nesting-boxes for birds. These nesting-boxes will be hung on trees in a particular forest.
