As an Endangered species, with a very small global population and low genetic diversity, Black Harriers require concerted protection from all anthropogenic impacts.
Making green energy greener
Data from 22 operational wind farms in South Africa showed that an average of 4.6 fatalities occur per turbine per year.
Satellite tracking of raptors and mitigating collision risks
Satellite-tracking of raptors and bats allows us to understand their foraging, breeding and migratory behaviour and to assist developers in placing turbines with sensitivity to vulnerable species.
Collision-prone bustards and raptors – power line surveys
Some collision-prone species require special survey techniques to understand where they breed and how they are affected by power lines.
