Another electrocution victim was found on Thursday 10 July 2025 on a medium-voltage power transmission line carrying electricity to the antenna installation located at the highest peak of the Dadia-Lefkimi-Soufli National Park.<\/p>

A cinereous vulture and a Eurasian eagle-owl have been found in this line in the past by visitors. Before the 2023 fire much of this line was hidden by the tall forest, but now that the forest has burned, much of this line is a trap for large birds of prey. And the pylons could potentially be the only high spots for birds to rest and roost in the absence of tall trees in the future and could cause electrocution incidents.<\/p>

This line is adjacent to the nesting areas of the cinereous vulture, Egyptian vulture, golden eagle, short-toed eagle and other raptorial species and black stork. For this reason, after the 2023 fire, and because the line was now visible along its entire length, the SPBT team began walking under this line in the summer of 2024 to survey for potential victims.<\/p>

The dead Eurasian eagle-owl was found by the \u00a0European Solidarity Crops<\/a>volunteers who were implementing the systematic walk. Afte recording all the necessary data to describe the incident, they transported the dead bird to the premises of the Evros Delta and Dadia Management Unit in the village of Dadia.<\/p>

Currently, procedures are underway to find funding from NECCA and environmental organisations to insulate and mark this line to avoid electrocution or collison incidents in the future, as the line, for many years, will be a dangerous towering infrastructure on the flight corridors of raptors in a sensitive area of the National Park.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The action of carcass search under the powerline is carried out in collaboration with Hellenic Ornithological Society within the framework of the LIFE-IP 4 NATURA program entitled \"Integrated actions for the conservation and management of Natura 2000 network areas, species, habitats and ecosystems in Greece\" (LIFE16 IPE\/GR\/000002)<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
