Safe sky for birds in Northeast Bulgaria

The project aims to reduce unnatural mortality among 16 globally threatened bird species caused by electrocution and collisions with power lines. The key actions include insulating 10,200 hazardous electricity pylons, installing 2,000 bird diverters, and providing 100 safe nesting sites.
