Limiting threats

To ensure peaceful sites, the project includes 6 actions :

• Securing and neutralizing dangerous electrical installations ;
• Including mappings of the most sensitive areas for the Bearded Vulture in all windfarm projects ;
• Strengthening actions to combat and supervise toxic threats ;
• Experimenting lead-free ammunition ;
• Rescuing birds in distress
• Limiting sources of disturbances and hazards from human activities.

Such actions are based on conducting 3 preliminary actions :

• Drawing up the inventory of dangerous power lines ;
• Mapping the areas where the Bearded Vulture is present and including them in windfarm plans and installations ;
• Collecting and analyzing how the public perceives carrion-eating birds in general and the Bearded Vulture in particular, to design relevant communication campaigns.
