This grant is offered to fund GIS modeling initiatives aimed at assessing and mitigating the risk of avian electrocution. The primary purpose is to develop robust products that identify and analyze the danger posed to birds by power poles and other infrastructure maintained by electric utility companies. By supporting advanced geographic information system (GIS) techniques, this funding seeks to enhance understanding of high-risk areas, enabling more targeted interventions to protect avian populations from contact with electrical equipment. The objective is to create tools that contribute to the safety of both wildlife and utility operations by preventing accidental electrocutions on power grids. This initiative directly addresses critical environmental and operational concerns within the utility sector.
