They propose that special bars be added to electricity poles

 

WWF Finland on Friday told the Finnish Energy Industries that special bars should be fixed on electricity poles so that white-tailed eagles could safely rest and observe the waters and terrain below.
According to the WWF's white-tailed eagle group, the bars would prevent power cuts caused by electrocuted birds.


The bars have already been tried in the Åland Islands.
In 30 years, Finland's white-tailed eagle population has increased from 40 nesting couples to 300. Between 1994 and 2001, 57 ringed white-tailed eagles were found dead in Finland. Studies show that 11 of these were electrocuted and 16 died after flying into a power line.
Finnish experts on white-tailed eagle protection gathered in Turku on Friday.
