Official
presentation of a new plan of correction of the electrocution in the
province of Barcelona
|
Next
day 19 of April will officially will be made known the PLAN OF
CORRECTION OF THE ELECTROCUTION OF BIRDS IN THE NATURAL PARK OF
THE MONTSENY AND INFLUENCE AREA. This plan is consequence of the
agreement of collaboration of a total duration of 3 years (2005
- 2007), signed by Diputación de Barcelona, Estabanell y Pahisa
Energía, SA, University of Barcelona and Foundation Miquel
Torres, for the application of measures antielectrocution for
the birds in electrical lines in the scope of the Natural Park
of the Montseny and influence areas of the Vallès Oriental and
Osona.
The
main virtue of this agreement is the complementariness and
mutual involution of the tasks of each one of the participant
organisms. The Diputació
de Barcelona
orders and finances the studies of detection of the dangerous
supports for the birds and give administrative and technical
supports in the protected spaces that manages. The University
of Barcelona makes
the tasks of cartography of electrical supports, applies the
prediction models of danger for the birds that the University
has developed, advice to the electrical company and evaluate the
made corrections. Estabanell
y Pahisa Energía, SA
contributes to develop suitable technical measures of correction
and it is in charge to apply them to the electrical supports of
high risk for the birds. Finally the Foundation
Miquel Torres
supports to the monitoring programs of threatened species, in
special the Bonelli’s eagle, and contributes to the spreading
of the made tasks of conservation.
