<\/h3>\n

Full name of the project<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Reduction of mortality risk on globally endangered birds through retrofitting of hazardous overhead power lines in South-eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

\n

Objectives<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Reduce human-induced mortality of the globally endangered Eastern Imperial Eagle and Egyptian Vulture. The project will implement cutting-edge solutions to prevent bird mortality caused by electrocution and collisions with overhead power lines, a significant threat to both species.<\/p>\n

\n

Activities<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
  • Insulating over 17,000 hazardous electricity pylons and installing 2,500 bird diverters on aerial conductors across 100% and 80% of EIE and EV national breeding populations, respectively;<\/li>\n
  • Pilot remote methods to identify mortality hotspots and guide interventions more effectively, and test innovative technologies for retrofitting power lines, ensuring long-term sustainability;<\/li>\n
  • Establishing an international network for experience exchange and best practices between grid operators across the Balkans and along the species\u2019 migratory flyways.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    Duration<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

    5 years (July 2025 \u2013 July 2030).<\/p>\n

    \n

    Target areas<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

    14 SPA, 48 IBA\/KBA and \u201cstepping stone\u201d areas in Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Turkey.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n
