Poison is still the biggest killer of vultures both in Africa, Asian and Europe, but electrocution comes a close second in many parts of the world \u2013 as we were reminded this week, when two griffons were found dead, electrocuted, at the base of an <a href=\"http:\/\/guarena.hoy.es\/noticias\/201702\/12\/buitres-leonados-electrocutados-proximidades-20170212191807.html\">electricity pylon in Andalusia<\/a><\/p>\n<p> Electrocution happens in poorly insulated or designed medium-tension poles, where griffons and other soaring birds often perch, and when the bird does contact between the wire and the earth through the pole. Electrocution of birds does not only kill protected and rare species but is also a problem for the electricity distribution companies \u2013 there are often black-outs and performance problems because of such incidents.<\/p>\n<p> Solutions are simple, and not that expensive \u2013 in the immediate, dangerous poles can be insulated, while in the longer term, and more sustainably, the adoption of pole designs that are less prone to electrocution of birds is recommended. Indeed, in many countries electricity distribution companies are now working with conservation organisations to minimize this threats \u2013 in our own projects <a href=\"http:\/\/gypaetebarbu.fr\/life-gypconnect\/\">LIFE GYPCONNECT<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gypaete-barbu.com\/10\/le-projet-life-gyphelp\/58\/pourquoi-ce-projet.html\">LIFE GYPHELP<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rupis.pt\/en\/\">LIFE RUPIS<\/a> y <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rewildingeurope.com\/life-vultures\/\">LIFE RE-Vultures<\/a> we are working with national and regional companies to insulate hundreds of potentially dangerous pylons in Portugal, France and Bulgaria.<\/p>\n<p> In Spain, several conservation NGOs have teamed up recently to establish a platform to advocate further action on this matter \u2013 see <a href=\"http:\/\/sostendidos.com\/\">http:\/\/sostendidos.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p> Please be aware that electrocution kills vultures \u2013 and if you detect such an incident, please contact us!
