TRANSFORMATION OF MORE THAN 10HA OF ARABLE LAND TO PASTURES IN SLOVAKIA HAS BEGUN

Over 10 hectares of land at the border of SPA SKCHVU019 Ostrovné lúky in Slovakia has been leased for 20 years period under the project. The idea was inspired by the results of the LIFE Energy project, held in Slovakia in 2014-2019, under which relation was proved between the bird-attractive crop type and mortality of birds on power lines on sites where this crop was planted.

THE RECOGNITION FIELD SURVEY IS OVER, THE BASELINE SURVEY HAS STARTED

The recognition field survey took place in all seven project countries and lasted since January 2021. More than 78 trained field assistants have surveyed the distribution and transmission power lines and utility poles within the priority project areas along the Danube. The main aim of the recognition survey was to define the initial situation concerning the following collected data: technical parameters of the power lines, data of bird carcasses, faunistic, breeding data, and other important permanent biotic and abiotic factors.

We were honored to receive your proposals and wish you all the best in your amazing creative work! Check the short video describing the story behind the creation and meaning of our new logo!

THE RECOGNITION FIELD SURVEY HAS STARTED

The recognition field survey has started in February 2021 and will last until the end of March 2021. During this period, around 1099 km of power lines and 10900 potentially dangerous utility poles will be examined and their level of riskiness for birds will be evaluated based on the findings (number of the cadavers found under the power lines/utility poles).
