As with any existing element in the landscape, the fauna interacts with the electric lines. Although there are different zoological groups that do that, the problem of birds is the most obvious. That interaction is usually Extremely harmful and even deadly for some types of Avifauna.
Recent studies have estimated that more than 30,000 birds of prey die because of electric lines every year. It is the most important cause of death for many types of Avifauna, several of them threatened, as is the case of the Iberian Imperial Eagle, the Perdicera Eagle and/0 The Bustard.
The Avifauna protect against electrocution
Loose High voltage owners can ask Until March 17, the aid provided by the Ministry of Environment, Universities, Research and Mar Menor aimed at adjusting its facilities to protect the Silvestre Avifauna and reduce the state of species through electrocution and collision.
To facilitate the application process, the community recently has the First informative day open to anyone interested in this line of helpThis is endowed with 1,880,000 euros financed by the repair, transformation and resilience plan. It is the first time that these aids are convened to adjust the electricity lines, which means to correct around 650 electrical support in the protection areas of the region.
The funds are distributed with 1,680,000 euros for private companies and 200,000 euros for non -profit families and institutions. It is therefore guaranteed that Different sectors can contribute to the preservation of biodiversity.
“It is a sample of the dedication of the regional government for the protection of our biodiversity. The adaptation of the electricity lines is essential to protect the birds, especially those who are in danger of extinction, and to meet our CEnvironment -ominos at national and international levelSaid councilor Juan María Vázquez during the inauguration of the first informative day held this morning at the Regional Metal Federation of Murcia (Fremm).
The counselor emphasized the effort for Delimitation protection areas, including areas of reproduction, food, food and concentration of endangered speciesAs well as special protection areas for birds (Zepa). “We have designed this line of help to deal with the conservation of nature,” he said.
Subsidies in Cantabria
The subsidies are aimed at high -voltage electric lines that are in defined protection areas. The subsidy of the actions include the structural correction of dangerous electrical support, the isolation of conductors by Homologated covers and the installation of Salvapájaros or visual signals to prevent collisions.
The amount of subsidies can reach one hundred percent of the costs of the promotions, with a limit of 300,000 euros for companies and 100,000 euros for the rest of the beneficiaries. Help can be requested until March 17 and Interventions must be completed before November 30 this year.

AIDS are also tailored to Royal Decree 1432/2008, which determines measures to protect the Avifauna against collision and electrocution in high -voltage electric lines.
To ensure that the possible beneficiaries have access to all necessary information, the Ministry is organizing various informative days. “We want these subsidies to reach as many people and entities as possible, Maximize the positive impact on our protected species“Said Juan María Vázquez.
