LIFE Danube Free Sky

LIFE Danube Free Sky is a transnational bird conservation project that connects 7 European countries (AT, SK, HU, HR, RS, BG, RO) and 15 project partners (energy companies, conservation organizations, national parks, and railway company).

The risk of power lines is still an underestimated reason for birds´ mortality. Preventing birds from collisions and electrocution is important to compensate other threats that the endangered species need to face. Only part of potentially dangerous lines is responsible for the majority of killed birds. It needs to be identified and treated with adequate measures - insulation of dangerous utility poles and installation of the flight diverters on the power lines to prevent electrocution and collisions of birds.

The LIFE Danube Free Sky (LIFE19 NAT/SK/001023) project is co-funded by the European Union and the Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic.
