САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:
In this paper, we developed a risk map to assess the probability of bird collision hazards with high voltage power lines in protected areas in Serbia. The methodology involved scoring protected and sensitive bird species based on conservation status, collision susceptibility, and presence in protected areas. Species distribution modeling was conducted for 59 priority species using the MAXENT algorithm, incorporating bioclimatic variables and occurrence data from 2000 to 2024. The resulting models were integrated with power line infrastructure data and protected area boundaries in GIS. The risk map identifies high-risk power line segments by overlaying species distribution models, power line locations, and protected areas. It provides a spatial assessment of collision risk across Serbia’s ~56 km high-voltage network in protected areas. Key outputs include geographic data on target species distributions, power line segments with associated species presence, and protected areas intersected by power lines. This is the first comprehensive assessment of the risk of bird collisions in protected areas for the Serbian power grid. It enables the grid operator to proactively implement mitigation measures like installing bird diverters on high-risk segments. The map also supports future grid planning to avoid critical areas for bird conservation. Overall, this risk mapping approach aligns Serbia’s practices in line with European standards for bird protection. It provides a scientific basis for decision-making on bird safety measures and contributes balance energy infrastructure development with biodiversity conservation goals. The methodology can be updated as new data becomes available to refine risk assessments over time.
