During the last few months I spent a lot of time organizing the Budapest Conference on „Power lines and bird mortality in Europe” under a contract to MME/BirdLife Hungary.
This is an extremely important bird conservation issue since mortality on power lines, due to collision and especially electrocution, has been confirmed as one of the main human-related threats for many bird species, causing the death of tens of thousands of birds of prey every year in Europe alone.
123 representatives from 29 countries participated in the conference.
More details including the presentations and posters of the conference as well as the Budapest Declaration on bird protection and power lines can be found on the MME’s website.
