CGES and CZIP signed a Memorandum of Cooperation
Taking into account With a shared interest in establishing close and lasting relations, recognising the importance of environmental protection but also driven by a common desire to contribute to its improvement, the Montenegrin Electricity Transmission System and the Centre for the Protection and Study of Birds signed a Memorandum of Cooperation in Podgorica today.
By signing this document, CGES and CZIP have committed to working together to adapt Montenegro's electricity transmission system to environmentally friendly conditions for bird nesting, and to do so in a way that this electricity...This energy company will, in the near future, begin a project to install nesting boxes on pylons where technically feasible. This is a new project to install artificial nests for endangered bird species, which would in this way be given the opportunity to restore their population and increase their numbers.
Furthermore, CGES will incorporate visual bird deterrents and will give special consideration to all CZIP recommendations regarding proximity to internationally significant bird habitats and bird migration routes.
A large number of artificial nests will be placed on the pylons of high-voltage power lines, thereby giving CGES, which is engaged in electricity transmission, a special role and responsibility in nature conservation.
