The ongoing problem of bird mortalities associated with wind turbine collisions can thus be expected to increase, particularly in situations where development permission has already been granted in sensitive areas. Whilst a number of mitigation methods and new turbine designs are currently available there are a number of drawbacks related to their efficiency of operation or timely implementation (Desholm 2003, Duchamp 2014, Kelly & Fielder 2008, May et al. 2012, May et al. 2015). A review by May et al. (2015) on 26 different postconstruction measures currently available to reduce bird mortality at wind farms suggests that those directly altering turbine speed or effecting temporary shutdowns may prove to be most effective. Approaches that aim to alter bird behaviour, including those that provide visual and sound based cues, may also prove to be effective to some degree (May et al. 2015). However increasing the attractiveness of areas surrounding a wind farm may well be the preferred option to draw bird species away from turbines (Goodwin 2013, Martin et.al 2012, May et al. 2015).","PeriodicalId":404970,"journal":{"name":"Vulture News","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126593080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This formalises the VSG’s support and commitment to implementation of the Raptors MoU in Africa and Eurasia and further cements the working relationship established as a partner in the drafting of the CMS Vulture MsAP. Members are invited to peruse the formatted version of the Final Draft of the Multi-species Action Plan to Conserve AfricanEurasian Vultures (Vulture MsAP) and also a concise Vulture MsAP summary that are now available online on the CMS COP12 web pages. This Final Draft Vulture MsAP was unanimously endorsed by the CMS Scientific Council at the 2nd Meeting of its Sessional Committee, which was held in July 2017 in Bonn, Germany. Significantly, the meeting also recommended CMS Parties accept the proposals covering all ten species of Old World vulture for listing on Appendix I to the Convention. For more details, please refer to the News item on the Raptors MOU website. A small team of VSG members attended the CMS COP12 in Manila, Philippines from the 2228 Oct 2017 and participated in a Side-Event co-organised with the CMS Raptors MoU Coordinating Unit, BirdLife International and Vulture Conservation Foundation. The event, entitled ‘Conserving African-Eurasian vultures for biodiversity and ecosystem services: the role of the Multi-species Action Plan’, was held on 24 Oct. Further vulture side events at the meeting featured Indian vultures (hosted by Indian Government), and the uplisting of Lappet-faced Vulture (hosted by the Saudi Wildlife Authority).","PeriodicalId":404970,"journal":{"name":"Vulture News","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127791317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
