Third *rapau *electrocutada in a month
Informative note 23/01/06
They can
be hundreds every year, because the majority do not detect . In
an only month, the *GOB has checked the *troballa of three *rapinyaires
deaths, supposedly for electrocution. This past weekend,
has located a nine copy of *aligot to the foot of a tower.

The problem of the electrocution of big birds follows being an authentic *lacra for these species, in theory protected by the law. A copy of *milà royal and two of *aligot, located low of electrical towers to the last weeks, show clearly the worrisome level of the problem that is reporting .
The three cases know because people that has happened near the tower has had the friendliness of *avisar to the *GOB. But on *Menorca there are hundreds of towers with designs that *electrocuten the birds of some *envergadura that pretend to use them to put . So that the problem takes big dimensions and turns into a black hole that deletes systematically some species already of for if scarce.
It is necessary to insist of nine in the urgency of performances of prevention. The Balearic Government, as a competent administration in fauna *silvestre, and *GESA-*Endesa, as a company that *gestiona the electrical lines, can not continue delaying the application of solutions. The change of design of the dangerous towers can not *aplaçar more.
With each passing day
can do that it lose pointlessly a big bird.
The *aligot (*Ratonero in Spaniard, *Buteo *buteo in
scientific name) that has found this weekend was
withdrawn by the Kindergarten *Forestal, for warning of the *GOB. The
protocol of fauna protected forces to not touching the animals that locate
deaths, that have to be withdrawn by agents of the authority,
which heave the corresponding *atestat and send the *cadàver
to analyse others possible causes of the *falliment.
