Bird Flight Diverter Experiment on Transmission Powerlines in Uzbekistan (Bash and Dzangeldy Wind Farms)

Duration:
3,5 years
Years:
2025-2028
Species:
Asian houbara (Chlamydotis macqueenii)
Funding:
ACWA Power
Collaborators:
Paul Dolman and Benjamin Rousseau. University of East Anglia. (coordination)

This project aims to assess the impact of power lines on the Asian Houbara Bustard and identify effective measures to reduce collision risk. Specifically, it will:

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of different bird flight diverters in reducing collisions.
  • Estimate Asian Houbara mortality along the newly installed power line.
