| Résumé : | This document provides a general overview of the current handling and knowledge of the ’birds vs. power lines’ issue at national level in all 27 European (EU) member states through responses to a questionnaire prepared by Raptor Protection of Slovakia. The questionnaire was sent to a number of non-governmental organisations, BirdLife International offices, and electric utility companies. Unfortunately, low-quality information was retrieved from some countries. This possibly reflects the fact that available information on the subject of bird-power line interactions is genuinely limited and/or that relevant stakeholders are just not aware of the topic. Nevertheless, some of the missing information could be retrieved from scientific (and other) publications and documents. Through these sources, it was possible to prepare this document to present an up-to-date account of the scale and impact of electrocution and collision of birds with power lines. It also provides recommendations for actions and examples of best practices to reduce bird mortality. |
