南非风力农场利用鸟类探测技术和红刀片在扩大清洁能源的同时,减少鸟类死亡。 South Africa’s wind farm uses bird-detection tech and red blades to cut bird deaths while expanding clean energy.

南非的Excelsior风力农场(Ecelsior Wind Farm)使用“关闭需求”系统在发现秃鹫角或黑鹰等濒危鸟类时停止涡轮机,将5年内鸟类死亡人数减少到8人以下,但能量损失最小。 South Africa’s Excelsior Wind Farm uses a "Shutdown on Demand" system to halt turbines when endangered birds like the Cape vulture or black harrier are spotted, reducing bird deaths to fewer than eight in five years with minimal energy loss. 然而，极度濒危的黑鹞——仅存不到 1,300 只——由于其体型、检测难度和栖息地丧失而面临持续的风险，十年内有 13 人死亡。 However, the critically endangered black harrier—fewer than 1,300 remain—faces ongoing risks due to its size, detection difficulty, and habitat loss, with 13 deaths recorded in a decade. 一个试验性的喷漆涡轮叶片红色将鸟类死亡人数减少了87%,为平衡可再生能源增长与野生动物保护提供了一个很有希望的解决办法。 A trial painting turbine blades red reduced bird fatalities by 87%, offering a promising solution to balance renewable energy growth with wildlife protection.
