In a groundbreaking initiative, NCE conducted extensive surveys across 300 km of power lines in the Gulf of Suez region, pinpointing areas with a high risk of bird collisions. Our current endeavour involves installing flight diverters along critical segments of the "Sharm - El Tor" powerline to significantly reduce bird fatalities. Thanks to the EEAA, Nature Conservation Sector and the Egyptian Electricity Transmission (EETC) for their generous support and cooperation. This initiative is complemented by post-retrofitting assessments to measure the effectiveness of our interventions in reducing collision rates.
