Résumé :	The energy which is generated must be transported to the end user. This transportation takes place in power lines which will run over the landscape. Continued economic generation in the region and increased consumer demand for electricity will mean the construction of additional power lines across the landscape of the flyway. The total length of transmission and distribution lines worldwide is expected to rise from 70.5 million kilometres at the end of 2010 to 76.2 million kilometres by 2015. Across North Africa and the Middle East, thousands of additional kilometres are expected. The MSB project has focussed on medium and high voltage lines as they are believed to pose the biggest risk to migratory soaring birds across the flyway. Impacts are likely to be - Displacement/ Barriers: along migration routes or to suitable habitats/feeding grounds - Habitat impacts: fragmentation of habitats at the landscape level The differing voltages also pose different sets of risks to birds. - Electrocution: risk associated with medium voltage distribution power lines - Collision: risk associated with high voltage transmission power lines The documents are designed to be used by each stakeholder group but can also be used by organisations when approaching the different stakeholder groups for lobbying purposes, for instance, a local community can refer to both to the civil society guidance, while also approaching a developer with the developer guidance. Alongside the guidance material, we have produced a series of case studies which relate to the impact of power lines on birds and references to mitigation actions which are being used within the region and around the world. We have also provided links to external resources which provide valuable background information and advice. The sensitivity mapping tool which is being developed and constantly refined in relation to the wind also provides information on Important Bird Areas and other protected areas and could provide a good reference point in relation to areas to avoid for routing
