A preliminary assessment of the potential risks from electrical infrastructure to large birds in Kenya
Due to its size and prominence in the landscape, electrical infrastructure constitutes an important interface between wildlife and man. Direct interactions between electrical infrastructure and wildlife include electrocution, collision with power lines, and short circuiting of the electricity supply. Indirect interactions include destruction of wildlife habitat and disturbance of wildlife as a result of infrastructure construction and maintenance activities. This paper focuses on the direct interactions only.
